There was no comment about BTC difficulty. It's a comment about the pernicious impact of BTC on the world with practically no benefit to show for it.

Yeah, and the truth is Bitcoin doesn't have negative impact on the world. Miners do.

This is kind of like the old joke that falling from a great height is perfectly safe, it's only landing that's dangerous.

Almost everything in Bitcoin was intentionally designed around mining.
