To all the people complaining about the environmental impact of crypto. Could you please tell me the form of money you use that is has no environmental impact? I'm super curious. I get that mining has an environmental impact. I get that it's bad. I get that people don't like it. I'm just curious what the other options are, as if the banking industry in place all of a sudden has no environmental impact. If you want to just complain about crypto, you ride that high horse into the sunset. Unless you're using something better, than just whining in a thread isn't making any change.

Cash? Credit? What is it that you personally use, and how does the currency you currently use compare with bitcoin? Also, as I've said repeatedly (and was just mentioned in the thread) Ethereum is going to Proof of Stake instead of Proof of Work. Which means no mining for it.
