Groundbreaking tech promises to change the landscape of digital currency: 'Not every cryptocurrency is an energy guzzler'

Crypto cards are gaining serious momentum — and they might just help clean up digital finance's dirty reputation, according to Blue and Green Tomorrow.

Cryptocurrency cards, which work like your typical debit or credit card but are funded by digital currency, are showing up with a greener twist. Thanks to blockchain networks shifting to cleaner tech like proof-of-stake (PoS), some crypto cards now come with a significantly smaller pollution impact.

Why does that matter? Because crypto mining — especially for big names like Bitcoin — uses a shocking amount of electricity, much of it from dirty energy. Some estimates compare Bitcoin's annual energy use to that of an entire mid-sized country. This power demand doesn't just strain energy grids — it also drives up electricity bills for everyday people and contributes to the air pollution that harms our communities.

I've posted about this before -- the "Piedmont Reliability Project" that wants to put power lines through farmland of 3 Maryland counties is basically to support crypto mining in Virginia. The battle against this Eminent Domain issue has been going for a while now-- one of the county sheriffs has even said he will not enforce any orders to let this Piedmont group get access to resident's land. They are trying to perform surveys at this point.

So if crypto can be developed that is less of an energy hog, that would be great.
