It is true that the use of the renewable energy percentage in Bitcoin (BTC) went up to around 50% in the recent past, but "Bitcoins are usually mined on specialized computer equipment, which produces significant e-waste due to its short life expectancy. Bitcoin's annual e-waste is estimated to be over 30,000 tonnes as of May 2021, which is comparable to the small IT equipment waste produced by the Netherlands" (Source).

One of my friends said years ago that owning a car is a luxury. He is right. I do not even have a car.

People make a lot of e-waste with many (often completely unnecessary) things.
