That doesn't explain how humanity can reach collective consensus to burn energy to further ruin our planet because we can't reach collective consensus on how to efficiently exchange goods and services. That's what, you know, governments are supposed to be fixing. I am being brainwashed on a daily basis to turn off electronic devices, I pay extra for electronic devices to be marginally more energy efficient, I am crossing local law if my car idles for more than 60 seconds but it is fine to be burning energy on massive scale as a detail of computing algorithm. Not to mention I can't buy decent graphics card because of how prices are inflated by miners. Let's face it. If you are mining bitcoin you are effectively engaging in a destructive operation where you accept small extra payment for burning much larger amount of energy away. While the rest of the world tries to minimize our carbon footprint you are wasting part of the infrastructure that makes it possible for a cut.
