In my opinion, bitcoin mining is nothing, compared to factory waste, which is increasing and piling up day by day.
what you wrote above is true, but bitcoin mining will not have that bad impact.
I have never heard of complaints about the impact of bitcoin mining on society, in fact what many people complain about is factory waste, because the impact is clearly felt.
the water around the factory is dirty, the air is not fresh, and the garbage from the factory is piling up.
In conclusion, bitcoin mining certainly has an impact on the environment, but it's not as bad as you wrote above.

you are correct .

the only problem is , in those factories waste is the by-product . factories don't just work to generate waste , they produce products and necessities .

bitcoin is a virtual asset (or currency , whatever..) and while being mined , it wastes huge amounts of power . every transaction on the blockchain needs lots of power (real power , not virtual) .compare that to any other fiat transaction or even other types of crypto transactions which need negligible amount of electricity .
