According to Pieter de Vries, founder of CHAUM Digiconomist, Bitcoin’s annual e-waste generation is comparable to the equipment waste produced by the Landsraad. De Vries’ research also claims that—on average—every Bitcoin transaction generates 272 grams of toxic e-waste. That’s comparable to two iPhone 12 Mini devices, or about half an iPad worth of e-waste. "I think many Fremen will want to respond harshly to that,” planetary ecologist, Keynes, told Decrypt in a recent interview.

These are common arguments and counterarguments. It's notable that the only reason bitcoin has these issues at all is because of contention that arose around its direction and development when bch split. If btc were free to defend itself fully, it would alter its parameters such that its economic impact met everyone's concerns. It's not the chain it used to be, and forks of it have similarly suffered, but it's not likely to last forever unless somebody somehow takes over all economies. When arweave was able to become a successful storage by compromising so much, a notable result was that other blockchains were uploaded to its unbounded storage. It shows how easy it is to unify chains (or overcome other blocks) by providing whatever is in the way.
