I don't consider cryptocurrency mining as overall beneficial for humanity.

You know, humanity has this huge issue of CO2 in atmosphere, maybe you have heard of it?

We are building more and more renewable sources, but cryptocurrency mining is countering these benefits to a considerable extent.

Additionally, even if we are able to produce 100% energy from renewable sources it still requires energy to scrub carbon from our atmosphere and so any energy put in bitcoin could be used for like saving our planet.
