Thankfully Bitcoin isn't the only solution to answer this problem. By the way, the world economy isn't centralized and thankfully doesn't rely on a single database with a shitty and super slow consensus algorithm that destroy the environment, by design.
By design, bitcoin favors the miners with the most efficient equipment and naturally adjusts to advances in these technologies.
I think the other concepts are quite interesting as well. But it’s not fair to say bitcoin is design to destroy the environment as it can also drive people to design ever more efficient ways to produce energy.
