A lot has been said about mining and about the electricity consumption of the activities related to bitcoin mining. However, I have thought of the alternatives and how other systems produce not just energy waste, but also plenty of useless work and "human waste".

To have a network that can ensure the completeness of transactions, the global accessibility and all the features that bitcoins, and many alts, have at the moment, would probable produce a huge carbon footprint. Just think of the VISA system or the banking system... the amount of people working on it, the waste of commuting to works, the infrastructure.

Thinking of all that, would you still say Bitcoin is bad for the environment?

No i don't think so. Even without bitcoin the world is already changing to a compiter technology. Even the small children or even infant uses electricity for their gadgets. Bitcoin is just a part of this technology. Its the plastic waste that are causing harm to our environment.

Very well said, It's correct to say that almost everyone in this world uses electricity not everyone but the majority of the people, especially those who live in the cities uses electricity and this is part of the innovation of our lives that makes it easier for us to live. There are alternative ways to get clean energy for example; we can use hydro energy that comes from the running water or wind energy that obviously comes from the flow of air lol Grin

and also solar energy that comes from the sunlight all of this are the good energy sources that produce no waste or less waste and 100% ecologically friendly. Cool
