Fast Fashion is pollution then as well, and that’s absolutely horrible environmentally and in regards to factory conditions. There aren’t any BTC sweat shops as far as I know.

I don't understand this response. Why would you think that I would be in favor of fast fashion or sweatshops? These are bad things.

That being said, I wouldn't rest on your "Bitcoin is free of slave labor" laurels so quickly[1].

At least "fast fashion" also pollutes the world with clothing.
