consider this: a civilisation is measured by its energy consumption. Before we discovered fire and used any stone tools, the only energy we had was whatever our bodies produced. Then we discovered fire, made tools, invented the wheel, etc. Until now, when we use computers, robots and other machines to help us live. Our life expectancy and quality of life has increased dramatically.
Shouldn't we concentrate our efforts on using clean renewable energy, rather than restrict our use of it?
Yes the energy consumption of cryptocurrency is very bad, because of how it affects our environment. Based on my recent research, I believe that a lot of miners are now making use of renewable energy sources, and those who are not making use of it also have plans to switch to it.
There are now organizations that works towards that, and with time I believe that this is not going to be a really big problem. And I believe that this is something that needs to be solved quickly. Yes, there eco-friendly coins that uses which doesn’t consume energy like bitcoin, but are people ready to switch to making use of those coins?, That is the question, and it’s why we should encourage the use of renewable energy sources.
