Past Dogecoin developer criticizes Mozilla over U-turn on crypto adoption

Billy Markus shared his stance on the decision of internet browser company Mozilla. 

Mozilla is an open-source platform to surf the internet, however, there are huge numbers of competitors in this internet world, which are stealing the popularity of Mozilla but still due to open-source properties, people are using Mozilla significantly. 

At the end of December 2021, Mozilla announced to accept donations in crypto assets in partnership with the payment network firm Bitpay. But after the announcement, Mozilla faced huge criticism in its community.

 However criticism was not at that level, where Mozilla needed to go back but still on 6 January, Mozilla decided to pause the donation in crypto-assets and claimed that cryptocurrencies are responsible for environmental issues, that is why they will not accept donations in crypto assets. 

Now the whole thing took a new turn when Past Dogecoin developer Shibetoshi Nakamoto (Billy Markus) responded to this decision of Mozilla.

Billy tried to explain through the response tweet, in the future people will come to know about traditional things like money printing as a big environmental issue and then surely people will avoid going with the traditional ones. 

thank you for succumbing to an ignorant, reactionary internet mob

wait till them guys hear about the environmental cost of paper dollars and the entire banking infrastructure, i am sure they will have the same level of meltdown about their own constant environmental impact https://t.co/jInIaIA0DS

Further, Billy asserted that we should take care of the environmental issues but seriously, without targeting particular things. And we are in a non-traditional world. 

“to be clear, we should care about the environment, just know, recognize that if we are living in a first-world country and whining on Twitter, we are pretty terrible for the planet, and stop trying to act like everything is the worst thing ever and we are all saints.”

These tweets of Billy Markus are much similar to a recent statement of popular crypto influencer Anthony Pompliano, who said that Bitcoin mining is a very costly activity but still mining of each Block generates a value. And also Anthony compared Bitcoin with the traditional financial system and claimed that middlemen needed money to manage all the work over bitcoin.
