We all know how beneficial it is for us to have a currency like Bitcoin , something that we can use without any interference and without any middle man, but there is always a problem with things that we usually unsee because of the huge benefits it earns to us and this time it's environmental pollution.
Bitcoin as we know it requires mining to continue it's supply , but the thing is mining consumes Tons of energy and thus makes it harder for us to cope up with the stress it is putting up on the environment.
Pollution, global warming  Bitcoin is causing all this , one might argue that it won't be necessary after a while but what about right now ? It's hurting the environment and we have no stable solution for this.
Shouldn't we focus on this too ? Rather than other things ?
Well, don't blame it all to bitcoin because it is not the only one contributor to global warming and in fact, what it does is just a small fraction compare to what gold mining and other human activities do. And to tell you, bitcoin miners is now trying to use the alternatives. And for me, it worth it because of the pros it gave us like fast transaction speeds, a form of investment, an alternative way to buy things with an ease. It even allow us to play on an online casino where we could play poker, cards, and the likes on your home. So don't blame bitcoin to global warming, other polluters do a huge damage compare to bitcoin and bitcoin miners again try to lessen it's effects by doing the alternatives.
