That's great news... so how do I opt-out of the CO₂ that BTC is generating?
- rfd4sgmk8u 5y agoHow do I opt-out of the CO₂ exhaled by the 7 billion other humans on the planet, or the CO₂ from Facebook or TikTok data centers (as IMHO both are very harmful for the planet)? Same way?

- bodyfour 5y agoWhat a non sequitur. The claim being put forth is that crypto's environmental cost FAR outweighs its utility. Your counterargument is that such concerns are unraisable simply because one can avoid personally using BTC. Or to put another way "if WE destroy the environment it's none of YOUR business" And that is wrong -- the atmosphere is shared by all. Changes to its composition are everybody's shared concern. If you want to argue that some other business's activity are too damaging to the environment to be allowed to continue... fine, make those arguments. But don't bat away concerns about crypto's absurd environmental cost as "none of your darn business"
