The headline is about the Biden administration pushing Bitcoin to be more energy efficient. Except there really isn’t any news to that effect. All of the repurposed headlines stem from one Bloomberg Law piece with a few vague quotes from an administration official working on an energy-related crypto report requested in President Joe Biden’s March Executive Order. NLW argues that the community getting frantically worked up about these sorts of non-stories is going to crowd out space for the real political battles to come. </span></p> <p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">-</span></em></p> <p><a href= "https://nexo.io/get-started?utm_source=coindesk&utm_medium=fixed&utm_campaign=coindesk_podcast_jun22"> <strong><em>Nexo</em></strong></a> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">is an all-in-one platform where you can buy crypto with a bank card and earn up to 16% interest on your assets.
