I do not think it is accidental that particular articles about #Bitcoin mining emerge now.
However maybe they are right about the water footprint used to mine #Bitcoin BUT the value of Bitcoin is so much more.

The author also calculates everything at maximum theoretical levels and ignores any variables like immersion or water repurposing or how the energy is derived in the first place. Some of the comments left behind at The Verge’s article on the same subject make for some balanced reading:
I graduated before 2009.
