These are both things to iron out in law later, not now in some philosophical way.

Incandescent bulbs have been banned in countries around the world because of energy concerns. It's pretty clear that Bitcoin's energy usage is likewise a problem. Throwing our hands up and labeling calls for regulation around this a slippery slope doesn't help our climate criss.

If you want to do something about the climate crisis, do something about the climate crisis (e.g. a tax on carbon?)

Don't single out something you don't like and ban it using the climate crisis as an excuse.
