- randomhodler84 5y agoDisagree. Waste is subjective, and ultimately not for you to decide. If the miners do not find it wasteful, who are you, the non-economic participant to say it is? Green and crypto are quite different things, supply and demand — green is about production, the only important part. How we generate energy in a clean and sustainable way. Crypto is about consumption, and you have no business telling others how they should spend energy. You can however incentivize the consumers to do it cleanly. You can be green and also pro-energy usage. Being green doesn’t mean being a bully and telling people what they can and can’t do.
