bitcoin doesnt waste energy, it uses wasted energy
Ok, I agree with you. How would you push-back if someone asks why bitcoin miners in China a few years ago were causing more coal-burning to occur. I know this was the past, and everyone should be free to use energy as they please. However, burning coal really just seems like bad idea. What if this starts to happen again in the next price cycle?
