There is some really great info on bitcoin's Wikipedia page, but the summary at the top is FUDtastic, and a lot of that negative bullshit should really belong down lower in its own FUD section (maybe 'controversy' or 'POW concerns' or something). More than half of the info at the top is negative. Check it:
"The Library of Congress reports that, as of November 2021, nine countries have fully banned bitcoin use, and a further forty-two have implicitly banned it.[15] A few governments have used bitcoin in some capacity. El Salvador has adopted Bitcoin as legal tender, although use by merchants remains low.[16] Ukraine has accepted cryptocurrency donations to fund the resistance to the 2022 Russian invasion. Iran has used bitcoin to bypass sanctions.
Bitcoin has been described as an economic bubble by at least eight recipients of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.[17]
The environmental effects of bitcoin are substantial.[18] Its proof-of-work algorithm for bitcoin mining is designed to be computationally difficult, which requires the consumption of increasing quantities of electricity, the generation of which has contributed to climate change.[19][20] According to the University of Cambridge, bitcoin has emitted an estimated 200 million tonnes of carbon dioxide since its launch, [21] or about 0.04% of all carbon dioxide released since 2009.[22]"
These points are maybe fair to mention, but they really don't belong at the top of the damn article. Let's fix it!
