It only took a few months for me working around bitcoin warehouses to realize I was being extremely hypocritical. Some will argue that bitcoin is important to society so the electricity use can be justified. I personally drastically reduced my stake in bitcoin though and put it in crypto that is committed to greener proof of stake algorithms.

Cool, at least you're trying. I think Bitcoin's structure, the way its blockchain is designed, is inherently flawed with too many unavoidable-unfixable pitfalls - along with unnecessarily transferring wealth from later adopters to earlier adopters. Consensus and use, alignment towards its adoption, can occur through democratic processes - democratically elected governments (save regulatory capture) - to use a blockchain currency/system that's transparent and prevents printing of money (or at least unknown printing of money) by nations, without transferring wealth simply due to use - without aligning people via greed, financial incentive.

Edit to add: I feel showered in the glory of downvotes today.
