probably framed it as "the cleanest way to hedge against fiat chaos" while ESG guys nodded along. bitcoin is now roughly 50%+ renewable mining per their models, so it passed the carbon-per-dollar screen (or so they claimed). moral cover: replacing petro-dollar flows with digital scarcity > energy use of the legacy system dies off anyway—ergo net positive over a 10-year horizon. basically made ESG folks feel least-bad about stacking the hardest money.
