I don't buy the "environmental disaster" arguments. In fact, I think the opposite may prove to be true.
Economics is driving Bitcoin to use more renewable sources of energy and seek out energy sources that would be impractical for other uses.
This is also wrong. BTC was originally designed on a "proof of work" model. Some captchas are based on this as well (to prove whether you are human). Proof of Work (burning CPU cycles) is wasteful and BTC in particularly has been the most energy resource intensive "distributed network" ever created to date that I know of. It rivals the power consumption of some small countries 😳

@prologic If I understand your claim correctly, you're saying "I don't like Bitcoin and therefore the amount of energy spent on it is not worth it." Of course, I would never say that you can't feel a certain way about a certain thing. I strongly support your right to feel that way. However, this argument doesn't convince me or prove anything.
@brasshopper Not what I'm saying at all. I'm howecwr opposed to energy guzzling inefficient systems of any kind!

For example I have the same problems with basisally all "cloud" services of any kind really 😆
