indeed at this time we only focus on the profits obtained from mining without thinking about the energy released. and I think as long as the miners are still a bit of the world's population, then the energy needs are not significant

I think we should worry more about what happens to the environment in general. Bitcoin may have been using a lot of power and may created a sort of an impact on energy usage but it is not the only thing that makes our environment a bit unfavorable. We all know how good bitcoin technology is and for me there is always a solution to problems. Perhaps we only have to work more on it so that both technologies and humans could evolve without problems. There are pros and cons but always remember that this things were made to make us efficient and therefore should continue be so not unless until there is no other solutions possible to this problem concerning our environment.

They are right, we really shouldn’t be worried about how much energy Bitcoin consumes. Those that hates Bitcoin keeps on saying it is consuming energy cause they don’t like it, so they will always say anything possible to stop cryptocurrency and Bitcoin.

Well, I will also like to add that as a miner, if you’re going to be making use of the energy supply from the government or whatever, you have to be worried about bills.

What? You don't know?

Bitcoin is not just something that is being circulated in the internet. It may look harmless for you as a newbie since you don't know how Bitcoins are being circulated from miner to investors to another investors. I think you know that Bitcoin is being mined right? And that miners uses energy, and its consumption of it is really great. Payment don't use energy, that is right but did you not know that there are a lot of miners all over the world? With a lot of that rigs they are using a huge amount of energy that could even light a city, imagine that.

Nah, I bet you really feel that way in the actaul world. The power consumption of your mining is a great factor to be considered because it is one of the biggest expenses can be deducted to your generated profit. If you will not worry for this then probably you get more losses than gains. It is okay to worry just only make sure to think a solution for that .
For those who are sick of that then why don't you try to build your own renewable power system. One of the easiest way to build is by using solar panels, it is eco friendly and take note, it doesn't need to change the topography of the environment which means that the natural environmental habitat was conserved.

As the popularity of bitcoins increases there will be more demand for bitcoins which results in  hike in the prices of bitcoins, so there is no need to worry about the consumption of electricity as the miners can use solar energy for mining which does not cost much except for the solar panels and other renewable energy for mining bitcoins. Many financial experts are of the opinion that the price of bitcoins will hit $ 50000 USD before 2020. Despite saying all this, let's just calculate the amount of electricity the banking industry consumes globally, it will be miniscule if you compare and that's the fact.

It may be that the processors needed to handle the entire network need too much energy, but first of all there are still very large energy reserves in the world, and secondly, I am sure that in the future the development of processors will increase and they will not need so much energy as now.
