Not if the point is a dead planet.
That's ALL I care about. Cars, which you mention, are another much thornier
issue because they've been made a social necessity and that will take time to
undo. As with another not often acknowledged source of carbon based pollution
due to humans... The factories that make damn near everything consumer
industrial societies have.
But unlike those things, bitcoin generates huge amounts of pollution due to its
electric demands, and, bluntly, it isn't necessary in any way shape or form.
