Pretty uninformed move. Or yet another marketing stunt.
Cryptocurrencies are not bad (edit: for the climate) by essence. Some are (e.g. proof-of-work based consensus ones). Some aren’t (e.g. federated bizantine agreement).
The latter does not consume a lot of energy to reach decentralized consensus. That’s why I like XLM.
Disclosure: I do not own any crypto assets (edit: and I never did in the past either). I am just an applied cryptographer.
The title is a bit off, I think. It implies that Mozilla’s climate policy review is over and done, but as far as I can see, the review is still ongoing. The situation is still the same as last week when this whole kerfuffle blew up: Mozilla has paused cryptocurrency donations and is currently reviewing the impact cryptos have on the world’s climate.
For example G1 / libre currency, a social crypto who is not using PoW, just a simple method to create new money assign every real persona a fix little amount to create (web of trust). More info: https://duniter.org/

Thank you for the clarification! 🙂
