If you think Bitcoin is bad, don't use it. Bitcoin is free market protocol. Often in free market it comes down to preferences, and this kind of opinion pieces are just a statement that I don't like what other people don't like, and other people shouldn't like what they like.

Bitcoin is also bad for you even if you don't use it. Greenhouse gas emission affects everyone, for example. So it makes sense to try to convince others to stop using it as well.

regarding emissions - there needs to be a carbon tax for energy. that will solve this externality pretty well imho.

So is every other animal activity, e.g., dancing.

This type of mentality stunts discussion and equally applies to your comment as well as the post. If you truly believed in what you wrote you would simply ignore an opinion piece that you didn't like instead of commenting on it.
