Vitalik Buterin (V-God), the founder of Ethereum, said on Twitter that Why is Bitcoin better than gold? I actually agree with this, Bitcoin is better than gold, both personally and socially. I used to talk about Bitcoin's damage to the environment. But gold is even worse.
Yes I agree that bitcoin is better in a lot of ways but can easily be misunderstood by alot of people because it is not tangible and for the people who do not know the technology behind bitcoin they can only see it as random numbers in the computer. Environmental damage is a different story I agree with you with the damage mining bitcoin can cause.
