Agreed, but how is that Bitcoin's problem? Is it Bitcoin's fault our politicians are so corrupt they do not want to put up taxes on carbon emissions and fossil fuels?
This is what I find annoying. If Bitcoin were to disappear tomorrow, we would still run on non-renewables, and pollute our soil and waters. Why isn't this the primary concern, and we look at a single industry downstream that is completely independent on how clean the energy it uses, and in fact, is more profitable with renewables as I mentioned in a sibling comment?
It is not dissimilar to the misplaced hope to reduce the catastrophic disaster of microplastics in our water stream by banning plastic straws. Or demonising meat consumption when it is such a drop in the ocean compared to all our energy and pollution problems, caused by transportation, heavy industries and corruption.
The only things people really care about these days is what fits easily in a Twitter post of fake outrage, without stopping to see the bigger picture.
