there is no reason to say bitcoin is bad for the environment, only some people say bitcoin is bad for the environment, bitcoin has long been founded by satoshi nagatomo, why only now there are so many debates like that, if bitcoin really damages the environment why not prevent it in the first place..
Many people are just too ungrateful, there benefit from bitcoin and same time fight against bitcoin which isn't supposed to be so, if bitcoin is bad for the environment then they should avoid it but no way there won't because they benefit a lot from it. Bitcoin does more good than harm, many people are solely being liberated financially because of bitcoin so why now fighting against it, actually no point so u did say the debate shouldn't continue.
