Professor Steve Keen, known for predicting the 2008 financial crisis, warned that Bitcoin is likely headed towards zero because its mining infrastructure consumes unsustainable amounts of energy, contributing to climate change. He argues that the global reliance on non-renewable energy and material shortages make it impossible to shift Bitcoin mining to fully renewable sources. While Bitcoin uses some renewable energy, Keen believes the overall energy consumption must be limited, which could threaten the crypto economy's future. Despite this, Bitcoin remains important for many in developing countries as a hedge against inflation and a form of monetary freedom.
