      Trendy and morally correct. If we can hate on Mastercard for the banning of adult content on Steam, we can blame crypto and the people around it for the scams and the continuing environmental harm.

        Why blame crypto instead of the specific parts of a different community? You can’t generalize a group because of the actions of a few individuals

        Cryptos impact is high but not as much as many other fields, and it’s not for the love of profit, but as a necessity to protect a decentralized currency used by lots of people

        Many cryptos don’t even have any environmental cost

          Why use Mastercard as an excuse to move to crypto? You can’t generalize the problems of the current monetary system because of the actions of a few. Crypto’s impact is high? It is a non-essential. Many cryptos don’t matter. And bitcoin, as the one people gravitate towards, is awful for the environment, for something that is a non-essential (and not even a practical currency).
