It can really be damaging for the earth if bitcoin will be mined abusively. Fossil fuel is needed in order for the blockchain to keep on running. If we can remember, Elon Musk used it as his reason to remove bitcoin as a mode of payment for Tesla.

I don't know how long some fans have always believed that this guy really cares about the environment just because he has rejected bitcoin. In fact, the electric car company is actually less environmentally friendly than ordinary cars in terms of manufacturing. Especially how he maintains the balance and sustainability of non-renewable resources for the next generation.

I read an article in my local media that:

English:
For ordinary cars, 20 tons (copper) per car, for electric cars it can reach 80 to 100 tons,".
Not to mention the need for copper for charging station components that require cables and others. Thus, it is estimated that the demand for copper will also increase quite significantly

However, global warming can be prevented. But non-renewable resources will always continue to erode. Bitcoin is only a small contributor to the destruction of the earth, industries such as electric cars and other devices will continue to increase over time.
