They committed to publish current & planned renewable usage & to ask miners WW to do so. Potentially promising".Argo Blockchain CEO Peter Wall tweeted that "as a founding member of the Bitcoin Mining Council, Argo will push hard for sustainable mining and more transparency".After applying brakes on Bitcoin as a payment mode to buy Tesla vehicles, Musk has also revealed that he might create his own cryptocurrency in the near future.Tesla had only just started accepting Bitcoin in late March.Musk has said that Tesla will no longer sell any more of the $1.5 billion Bitcoins it purchased earlier this year.
