There is a lot of stupid news that is deliberately created for bitcoin miners and even said that bitcoin miners are much more damaging to the environment. But if you study it, maybe gold and new stone miners are much more dangerous because apart from the environment and the surrounding community, they also experience quite bad impacts from the mining process.
They made many attacks against Bitcoin and accused Bitcoin as a considerable environmental issue but intentionally ignored fact of more and bigger pollution contributors by nations and many other industries. Bitcoin mining industry consume less energy than other industries and it also uses more greener, renewable, sustainable energy resources.
