You should have said that Bitcoin is a bad solution to a problem. The mining algorithm is wasteful because it uses cpu/gpu cycles as much as it can to calculate useless math instead of doing something a lot less energy-intensive like proof of stake. I’m not gonna pretend to be up to date on crypto mining but useless math is useless.
