See here you've gone straight into making a value judgement that you don't believe Bitcoin is useful, therefore we should permit Logan Paul videos but we shouldn't permit Bitcoin. But other people are happy to spend their money to buy electricity to burn it to mine Bitcoin. Just as you're okay with people spending money to watch ads and download videos. And without installing monitoring in everyone's home to make sure they don't decide to mine bitcoin on their laptops, or contravine whatever other new things we want to outlaw, then we can never shut it down so it's all moot. And if it's all moot then perpetuating this pointless "bitcoin burning electricity bad, youtube burning electricity okay" fad that is going on for some reason is a waste and a distraction from real problems and real solutions. The solution is to make sure whoever is burning electricity doing anything is paying the true cost of that electricity. Because there is literally nothing else you can do here if you really care about the environment.
