I'm tired of these articles. Yes, everyone knows that by now. Bitcoin holders don't care about the lack of transaction throughput of Bitcoin. They don't care about the ability to use Bitcoin as a currency. They don't care about the energy inefficiency of PoW. It's time to move on and stop caring about Bitcoin instead of giving it more media attention.

Perhaps these articles in mainstream media outlets are informative to people who are not bitcoin holders, and don’t know much about it yet.

People uninformed should be informed. Energy consumption and pollution effects everyone.
