VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Metasphere Labs Inc. (formerly Looking Glass Labs Inc., “Metasphere”, or the “Company”) (Cboe Canada: LABZ) (OTC: LABZF) (FRA: H1N), in partnership with impact venture studio Bluesphere Ventures Inc. (“Bluesphere”), is proud to announce the development of a seminal research paper titled, “Bitcoin, AI, and the Metaverse as Tools for Sustainability” in an era where digital innovation is rapidly transforming our world. This comprehensive analysis challenges prevailing narratives and opens new dialogues about the role of emerging technologies in improving the Earth’s sustainability.
Often criticized for its energy consumption, Bitcoin has been at the forefront of discussions about the environmental impact of digital technologies. Critics point to the extensive electricity required for mining and transactions as a significant sustainability issue. However, this article argues that the energy consumption attributed to Bitcoin pales in comparison to the growing demands of AI and AR/VR applications, collectively known as the Metaverse. This new wave of computing ushers in an era characterized by complex computations on an unprecedented, Internet-wide scale, shifting from traditional input/output models to more sophisticated, computationally intensive processes.
At first glance, the advent of Bitcoin, along with the explosive growth of AI and the Metaverse, seems to herald negative consequences for environmental sustainability. Each of these technologies, especially Bitcoin, has been singled out for their significant energy footprints. Yet the thesis presented in this report is both revolutionary and eye-opening: rather than exacerbating sustainability challenges, the evolution of these digital technologies offers a unique opportunity to significantly improve the Earth’s carrying capacity.
The paper delves into how Bitcoin, AI and the Metaverse can be strategically harnessed to promote sustainable practices, drive efficiency and support the global transition to renewable energy sources. By leveraging the inherent properties of these technologies, including decentralization, automation and immersive virtual environments, we can unlock new pathways for reducing carbon footprints, optimizing resource allocation and promoting a more sustainable and resilient global ecosystem.
This report is a must read for decision makers, policy makers and anyone interested in the intersection of technology and sustainability. It not only dispels common misconceptions about the environmental impact of these cutting-edge technologies, but also highlights how they can be crucial tools in our collective efforts to protect the planet for all species.

The report will be made available free of charge on 19 April 2024 to those who register before this date. It will be on sale afterwards.
Natasha Ingram, CEO of the company, said: “This publication is an important milestone in our understanding of digital technologies and their potential to contribute positively to the world’s sustainability goals. Metasphere and Bluesphere invite you to explore the insights and evidence presented in this groundbreaking paper, which promises to redefine the discourse on technology’s environmental impact and its role in ensuring a sustainable future for all.”
