Look can we stop this idiotic greenwashing? I get it, you don't like crypto. But stop trying to act like it's an environmental imperative to stop using crypto.

Look can we stop this idiotic greenwashing? I get it, you don't like crypto. But stop trying to act like it's an environmental imperative to stop using crypto. When mining crypto becomes an environmental imperative, that's when we'd have both removed emissions from our automobile usage _and_ switched to hydrogen based factory processes and _then some_. We're not even close to those goals.
Stop it. Hijack some other cause for your anti-crypto views. You don't get to make people feel good about emissions by writing anti crypto blog posts; you do it by actually advocating for lower emissions in activities that are in regular use that are _actually polluting_.
Someone is going to say something about incremental emissions reduction and to that I say, be my guest. The world is full of people selling magical products and ideas that claim to be green. The truth is, decreasing emissions is hard. Stop distracting people from the hard work needed to actually decrease emissions. If you want to help emissions out, go advocate for more buses and fewer automobiles in your community. Advocate for hydrogen subsidies for factories. Advocate for raising the gas tax. Advocate for tax rebates on weatherproofing houses. Advocate for heat pump installation. PoW cryptocurrencies are table stakes.
EDIT: The score on my post is fluctuating wildly and I'm flagged now lol. I've obviously touched a nerve here.
