It's the selective pointing of the finger that triggers me, especially if it's all about virtue signalling about climate change.
The bit that annoys me is when they say "oh but BTC mining uses up the energy of a small country without value"...we are replacing the entire legacy global financial ecosystem, and then adding value on top!
I wouldn't be concerned about energy usage if it hit even 100% of global energy spent...it would be a much more efficient process than the legacy system, and it's actually possible to measure it; literally the only reason we are having this conversation..
That's not even considering the push it's giving us towards mass adoption of renewable energy
