Not currently. They could hypothetically trade at a premium but this would be a pretty limited number as it would be difficult to prove that past bitcoins were mined using clean energy and 89% of bitcoins that will ever exist have already been mined.FireCohen said:

It might matter to some. Ultimately if you want to own BTC and want to be sure it's from a clean energy source you should just set up a clean energy-based mining operation.creepycoug said:

I’m asking because IDGAF about whether the energy is clean. I was confused why you added that point.BuffBuffPass said:
