@gerrymcgovern Thanks for sharing this article! What I like to know is how bad is Bitcoin mining for the environment compared to fiat money.
Some of the aspects mentioned in the article are probably valid for fiat money as well e.g. when a country uses only fossil energy that in doesn't matter if you use computers for the fiat system or for Bitcoin mining. Same for water usage.
But it is crazy that the hardware can only be used for little more than a year. I hope the hardware in the fiat system is used longer but I'm not sure.
