Technological advancements in blockchain and cryptocurrencies have shown great promise for the possibilities in many sectors, but is it possible for energy-consuming technology to coexist, even further thrive with nature? We believe it can. More so, can these technologies enable us to push beyond sustainability to regeneration and to foster the growth of a more beautiful planet?
