    Ah yes, the poor who dig Bitcoin. Sorry but if you are having money to dig Bitcoin you aren’t exactly poor. And you know if we all as humanity change just our diet, the effect would be immense, so it is not only the corporation’s responsibility but also the collective.

      The effects of any concerted effort can be immense. The point of that other commenter is that the average person should not (and need not) pay for the sins of the oil tycoons that got us here. I could also start talking about how if everybody in the US reduced their carbon footprint we could make so much progress. Wait, you’re telling me the gas companies invented the very idea to sow activist discord? No way!!!
