This thread is full of conflicting logic. For example:
“No one has the moral authority to tell you what is a good or bad use of energy” followed by “Bitcoin uses less energy than than banking and the military,” implying that these are “bad” uses of energy — and in fact, that’s the entire foundation of the Bitcoin cult! That Bitcoin is better than Fiat, that it’s the righteous currency because of decentralization/etc. When you have God on your side (in this case, Satoshi, someone revered despite having never been revealed as existing...) you can justify anything. Even massive energy waste and pollution.
