As Greenpeace USA took to Twitter to proclaim the leading cryptocurrency’s “ravenous consumption of fossil fuels” and unveil a unique new artwork, die-hard Bitcoin supporters were unanimous in their criticism of the campaign.

The organization teamed up with Canadian art activist Benjamin Von Wong to unveil the “Skull of Satoshi”—an 11-foot skull with red eyes, smoking stacks on its head, and an army of shadowy super-coders at its base.

“Can’t wait to buy this skull and plop it next to the nat gas generator powering one of my off-grid bitcoin mines,” Marty Bent, founder of Bitcoin media company TFTC, commented on the video showing the process of how the installation was created.

Many have ironically embraced the installation, with some calling it “badass” and even using it as a new profile picture.

The primary art element, the actual skull, is made with electronic waste donated by Unirecycle, “representing the millions of computers used to validate Bitcoin transactions, known as mining.”
