Abaout Environmental impact of mining, Since energy is a finite resource, we can use economics to understand energy consumption. As bitcoin miners use more energy, the price of energy will go up, and the profitability of mining will go down. This will encourage miners to be more energy efficient and will restrict the growth of how much energy bitcoin mining takes up as a percentage of global energy generation.
Obviously, the energy consumption of bitcoin miners will never go to 0, so there will always be an environmental impact. However, bitcoin mining isn't going to grow into a virus that will suck up all of the world's energy and destroy the environment. (sorry for my English, im and using your videos to learn it so ty both info and leanguaje =D)

That is good in theory, but that also assumes that there is no government regulation/subsidy involved, that there are no globe-spanning media conglomerates which can easily decide if the average person has an awareness of said environmental concerns, subsidies, etc.
The idea that energy is finite I would say is incorrect. If not in fact, then at least effectively, as far as our experience of the universe is concerned. The limiting factor (currently) is simply how that energy is being converted into electrical usable by human technology. The sun puts off more energy that we know what to do with, wind, tidal, geo-thermal, zero-point, electromagnetic, etc.
I sent you 1 STEEM for leaving a real comment :-)
One of the great feats of the Internet is that the power of the media has been reduced to the extent that people are more aware of their surroundings and can communicate with other people more easily, especially in young people.
Regarding the energy,it was an idea in general = D, anyway I hope we see the cold fusion.
Thanks =D.
