And the exact same proposition for any use of energy.

Obviously not.

Different sources of energy have different externalities, and different uses have different impacts.

Mind your own uses of energy and leave the market to decide what is really valuable.

The market is made up of people, who make decisions by communicating with one another.

Tellinge people not to discuss what is valuable and what the externalities is a sign you don’t have faith in the market.

The only reason I mention that you should mind your own energy uses is that you seem concerned about externalities and distraught bitcoin is doing the opposite of your thesis. Discuss away but it's not working. Your best bet is to regulate what you have influence on, your own uses of energy.

is that you seem concerned about externalities and distraught bitcoin is doing the opposite of your thesis.

Why have you read emotions into this?

Discuss away but it's not working.

What goal do you imagine it isn’t working at?
