Why would someone be a Bitcoin detractor if not for environmental reasons?

Aside from the environmental issue, I think Bitcoin is a poorly designed currency that ignores economic history/principles.

I have a really low expectation of it being able to provide price stability.

I agree, literally the only negative is it's current energy use, but even that has been blown out of proportion and has not been fairly compared with the energy use of other sectors and technologies.
