There's no denying it: Bitcoin is the only DECENTRALIZED method of payment in the world. No one controls how it is operated or mined.

Neither mining nor any other council is necessary. A rich person is yet again trying to exert influence over Bitcoin. Bitcoin uses energy and it is not a secret. The choice is yours whether you want to take it or not. It is not Bitcoin that is ruining the world, it is fossil fuel plants, cutting of forests, and millions of factories. Wouldn't it be better if they addressed that?

Why not just use any other Cryptocurrency if they don't like the energy of using Bitcoin? I believe that their biggest concern isn't energy use.

What are your thoughts on the matter?
