This excuse seems flimsy to me.
A better reason for change: How about the fact that the Bitcoin network is currently estimated to use over 7 nuclear plants worth of electricity and that a single transaction uses like 6 households of daily electricity? The carbon footprint of Bitcoin is something like the city of Las Vegas. Can we fix that?
