I don't know why people are immediately getting triggered and rush to compare it to something else and their only defense is to point fingers: "Look, this is worse!"
Since you're probably partly referring to my post, I can only say that it would be stupid not to say anything and let talk about how Bitcoin will destroy the planet, take root and become something that will soon be seen as one of the main reasons
"why don't use Bitcoin".
Many beginners are just reading this part of the forum and taking things for granted, and they should know how small the impact of BTC on the world really is - and how will you illustrate it to them if you don't give a concrete example? I personally mind when some push us into the category of criminals who use BTC to deal with illegal things, among other things - and I certainly don't want anyone to push us into the category of those who contribute to global warming and all that comes with it.
