No trying to defend bitcoin but it seems people forget the energy consumed to generate €/$ in a non-renewable energy economy.

That is my standard argument when I defend Bitcoin. I’m still having a hard time defending *this* level of consumption

Completely agreed. I love the properties of bitcoin and the underlying tech in general but I also don't think it's sustainable energy wise.
