"But they did it first" stops being an excuse once you move on from third grade. Even if the costs of bitcoin generation and transactions are better than mining gold, it's still a poor excuse to prefer "getting rich quick" to being considerate to the future generations.

Why did you basically copy-paste this chain of tweets: https://twitter.com/yassineARK/status/1360343382556483587
or are you the same person who authored them? (doubt that)

"Traditional Banking" does far more than bitcoin ever can (without building similar structures, organisations, products, call centres, offices, etc etc around it), and serves many many times more people. Your comparison is spurious.
