MODERATORS
Monero has a disproportionally large energy usage and footprint on the environment. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41893-018-0152-7
Please consider less wasteful alternatives. Every bit help, it's about keeping earth safe for human life.
Alternatives like actual cash, proof-of-stake cryptocurrency, or even EMV.
Most alternatives aren't completely anonymous payment methods, but Monero's anonymity isn't worth wasting so much resources.

alternatives are totally worthless for the only useful property of cryptocurrencies, which is private payments
"Every bit helps"
Not if it defeats the purpose of whatever you're doing in the first place.
