#BitcoinLovers, what do you think about this?

Bitcoin is dirty, dirty, dirty.
“The worldwide BTC mining network consumed 173.42 TWh of electricity during the 2020–2021 period, bigger than the electricity consumption of most nations. The mining process emitted over 85.89 Mt of CO2eq in the same timeframe, equivalent to the emission caused by burning [42 million tons] of coal or running 190 natural gas‐fired power plants.”

Good. More, please. Keep demand high, drive prices per kwh lower.
Good. Let's destroy our planet to decrease energy price and so that a very small group of the world's population has its digital toy currency.
You really have no clue that the biggest issue in getting to a clean, sustainable world IS CHEAP ELECTRICITY THAT IS RELIABLE.
My goodness, dude. Getting the rest of the world up and running with the cheapest electricity possible makes humans lives better, gives them more opportunity, and moves the whole of humanity past the dirty stages of development faster than any damage that MIGHT be caused.
Cost is not the only variable to take into account. Energy must be clean and sustainable. It doesn't matter how cheap energy is if there's no planet where to live. 🤷♂️
Energy cannot be cheap, reliable, and sustainable without nuclear.
I don't want to live in a world where I cannot afford to do anything at all because electricity is too expensive.
You are pushing your ideals on people who cannot afford to cook on anything other than dung or wood. That's cruel, you prick.
But all of those topics have nothing to do with bitcoin energy usage.
They do. Because everything that you say will lead to BTC using more costly electricity. The solution to this is to generate more power by any means to get everyone on the planet to the point where having clean water, decent food, and cheap electricity is the norm in the farthest reaches of the planet. Anything else is anti-human BS and I'm not particularly fond of that.
still better than being a ignorant dweeb promoting agendas to depopulate the world while carbon dioxide levels are at all time lows and birth rates are in the negative in most of the world. i'm sure you are all cool with the carbon footprint of the world's militaries too.
i bet you also like central bankers too. BIS guy's carbon footprint has gotta be at least equal to 10 africans.
lazy research, just a quick google search, this uses debunked claims about POW, addressedD nauseum and always ignored as Mora et al continues to be trotted out along with others like de vries/digiconomist
See Nic Carter’s comments on the White House report:
old, tired and retarded subject, promoted by lizard-sponsored greenpeace.
just the payment network of Visa exceeds bitcoin's "carbon footprint" let alone the entire global network of banks and interbank payment systems.
gfy climate cultist chicken little:
the unpaid propagandist do gooder virtue signallers are here.
imagine being so retarded that you don't even demand money to promote this patent bullshit.
