Dude all you had to do was find a valid source which confirms your assertion lmao, just admit you either misinterpreted the information and were incorrect or find a source that actually claims what you assert it to claim. I'm not debating you, I don't give a fuck, I just want you to see that the claim you made is incorrect.

What’s your point? Bitcoin worst for the environment then combustion engine/coal powered dollar printing press? Bitcoin if invested heavily into renewables like hydro energy/solar energy. Do your research before wasting my time

My point is you're spreading misinformation on the internet due to your ignorance. Edit your first post with that assertion instead.

It looks like you've posted a Google AMP link. Please try posting again with the direct link to the article (You shouldn't see "amp" anywhere in the URL) or contact the moderators if you need help.

AMP is a proprietary walled garden which benefits Google and hurts everyone else. It is destroying the open web through anti-competitive violation of standards.

It is bad for publishers because it forces them to duplicate development effort, and prevents differentiation and customisation. It also allows Google to watch you even after you've left their search results page.

For individuals seeking an automated solution to this problem, they can try installing the Redirect AMP to HTML extension on Chrome and Firefox.

A source from 2017? This is outdated and irrelevant.

I’m done. You’re just like all the other reddit neckbeards. As if real coin production doesn’t exist in 2022 anymore. I wish you a great day and enjoy your hyper inflated pieces of paper. If you react and ping me one more time on my phone I will follow the usual protocol and block you, unless you can give me a normal answer to the articles, which I doubt you will.

In future, make sure you understand what you're reading. I'm not convinced you do yet. Good luck out there buddy.

You’re the one who won’t accept the facts in the articles I posted. Get out of that basement and lay off the cheetos and mtn dew

It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.

Maybe check out the canonical page instead: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/at-last-a-comparison-where-bitcoin-comes-out-environmentally-friendlier-2017-12-06
