As I said, I'm not placing any value judgment myself. There has been some debate around the energy consumption of crypto mining. Some are arguing that there is some environmental impact to that. I'm simply asking what this person's thoughts on it are.

My thoughts are that any complaints about negative effects of mining on environment is a fud and clickbait.

This is actually driven by financial firms and politicians who have their own agenda in this game.

And no one from that list is going to prioritize care for environment higher than their own profits and powers.
