A group of Bitcoin enthusiasts has introduced an open-source AI tool designed to provide evidence-based responses to misconceptions surrounding Bitcoin's environmental impact, energy consumption, and its role in the financial system. According to Cointelegraph, the Nordic-based Bitcoin education platform, Bitcoin Beyond 66, developed 'The Bitcoin Evidence Base' amidst a growing body of peer-reviewed research highlighting the environmental benefits of Bitcoin mining. Despite this, outdated data and methodologically weak studies continue to shape public perception negatively. The database aims to offer users quick access to relevant, evidence-based information about Bitcoin mining and related topics, enabling them to share accurate information with social media users who may have unknowingly spread incorrect information about Bitcoin. The challenge, as noted by Bitcoin Beyond 66, is that most individuals lack the time to read over 22 peer-reviewed papers, Cambridge reports, and ERCOT data. When faced with criticism on social media, a credible and swift response is necessary. The environmental impact of Bitcoin mining has been a topic of debate for over a decade, with criticisms from some United Nations members and governments over concerns about its contribution to global warming. However, Bitcoin environmentalists like Daniel Batten argue that Bitcoin mining now utilizes a larger share of lower-carbon and renewable energy sources, rendering many old narratives outdated. The Bitcoin Evidence Base generates evidence-based responses to Bitcoin-related criticisms submitted by users via text or links. Cointelegraph discovered that The Bitcoin Evidence Base frequently cites an April 2025 University of Cambridge study, which found that more than 52% of Bitcoin is now mined using renewable energy sources. The database also highlights that Bitcoin's renewable energy mix surpasses that of the banking sector, with over 22 peer-reviewed studies documenting Bitcoin's environmental benefits. Bitcoin Beyond 66 stated that the AI-powered database employs Batten's Bitcoin 'communication playbook' to counter misinformation with 'evidence and empathy.' This strategy involves acknowledging the validity of criticisms before addressing misconceptions in a manner that educates both the individual and the broader public, rather than merely winning a debate. The Nordic-based Bitcoin group emphasized that attempting to 'own' someone triggers defenses and achieves nothing. The database offers users three tones for responding to criticism: direct, balanced, and soft. Users can contribute to the database by sharing papers and website links with Bitcoin Beyond 66 for review before inclusion.

Market sentiment gradually calmed, and short-term RV (Real Value Reduction) dropped significantly. Coupled with the release of nearly a quarter of margin positions during monthly settlement, implied volatility for major term options decreased significantly this week. Bitcoin's major term IV (Imperial Risk) fell below 40% across the board, while ETH's major term IV dropped even more, with short-term IV falling below 50% and medium- to long-term IV falling below 60%. Looking at the major options data, Skew (Skew) is relatively stable, and market sentiment remains slightly bearish. Only 6% of options expired this week, with approximately 25% open interest at the end of May and about 30% at the end of June. Large-scale trading was relatively inactive, all signs of consolidation. The analyst also noted that Bitcoin performed significantly better in April than in the previous three months in terms of both price and market activity, but altcoins saw limited recovery. Currently, the focus is primarily on Bitcoin; trading altcoins requires waiting.
