Bitcoin remains hard to use, mining continues to be environmentally damaging to a very large extent while it also becomes more centralized and scalability remains an issue. This price boom changes nothing in terms of fundamentals. Bitcoin's price went up mostly due to external factors but that doesn't solve the issues related to adoption.
Maybe though in the end, adoption doesn't matter? What are your thoughts?
The issue of Bitcoin mining being unfriendly to the environment is highly debatable. It is clear that this concept was promoted by anti-Bitcoin forces to push the government to place restrictions on Bitcoin mining. Accurate statistics have shown that Bitcoin consumes lesser power than what has been popularised.
Yep.
There are bigger fish to fry, yet people choose to bully BTC instead of things that do have a bigger impact in the matter.. That's just outright scepticism.
