The funny thing is Gold is really "un-green".

Mining gold involves massive amounts of energy and churning of the land, to find relatively tiny amounts of gold specs.   Then after we spend all that effort and energy, we store it in the ground in bars and hire armed guards 24x7 to protect it.

I love gold.  I'm a gold bug.  BUt I'll never buy the arugment that gold is more ecologically friendly than bitcoin,
