I do not have data to support what I say but I believe that fiat money pollutes more than any cryptocurrency...

Just think about the printing of money, the transport of it, the construction of banks, all the bills they issue, the energy that is spend within the same bank, many countries have a relatively active national currency (that means mining)...

In the case of cryptocurrencies you are only spending electricity and production of graphics cards ....

I also think that the bitcoin algorithm is Shit inefficient, but certainly crypto pollutes a lot less than fiat money.
