The interviewer noted Lapchik previously claimed that 75% of Bitcoin mining comes from renewable energy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe think that 75% is an actual figure,\u201d Lapchik told CNBC, \u201cThe miners are truly incentivized to use renewable energy.&#8221; Turning his thoughts to electric car-maker Tesla, which recently announced it would no longer accept Bitcoin for purchases due to environmental concerns, Lapchik said \u201cIt\u2019s surprising that Elon didn\u2019t consider that before getting into the space, before accepting Bitcoin as a payment mechanism for Tesla.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tesla opened its doors to payments via Bitcoin by United States clientele back in March. The move went public following the car company\u2019s purchase of $1.5 billion worth of BTC, announced in February. <\/p>\n<p>Musk, however, recently <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1392602041025843203\">stated<\/a> dis<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roval of the fossil fuel energy Bitcoin mining calls on, via a Tweet on Wednesday. He also discontinued payments to Tesla in BTC, albeit seemingly a temporary move until Bitcoin mining reaches satisfactory energy usage levels. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cReally the data has been there forever,\u201d Lapchik said of the 75% number. \u201cWe\u2019ve been proving over and over and over that that\u2019s a real case for miners in the Bitcoin network.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><template data-name=\"subscription_form\" data-type=\"markets_outlook\"><\/template><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
