I think you're wrong because you think Bitcoin is good for the environment. This is completely wrong because Bitcoin's mechanism is POW - which uses the computing power of a computer to confirm a transaction. But a computer needs power - an energy loss. The energy consumed will turn into heat - causing the Earth to heat up - which has a negative impact on the environment. The truth is that the "Bitcoin Mining" process consumes enormous amounts of energy, about the size of an entire large city operating, and the amount of heat emitted from the computers is a huge number.
