It is true that perhaps the environmental factor was not taken into account when designing the creation of bitcoin.In my own opinion it can be good also in the future if all people will use digital currency like bitcoin.
The consumption of energy of bitcoin is exaggerated by the media, remember the media is nothing but a slave to the government and they are going to do whatever the government tells them and since the governments have realized that it's impossible to stop bitcoin directly they are trying to do it indirectly through regulations and by using the media to spread all kind of lies.
