Water used for power and maintenance of Bitcoin servers adds more environmental issues.

    And your point is…?

    Even taking your statement for granted, you just acknowledged water is a finite resource and agree that Bitcoin mining is wasting it too.

        This Bitcoin fan interpreted your comment as a defense of Bitcoin mining.

        So I guess you weren’t being clear to anybody but yourself

            Why have I offended you? If you weren’t being disingenuous when you said you weren’t promoting cryptocurrency, you should be more offended that you were taken out of context.

            If it was whataboutism from the beginning, your offense makes more sense.
