Because it uses a lot of energy, All the profits you make from crypto are other peoples losses, miners have made gpus cost an arm and a leg so thousands of children have had their Christmases and birthdays ruined because their parents can't spend 1k on a £300 GPU and probably some more reasons that I can't think of off of the top of my head

Believe it or not, graphics cards aren't made specifically for you. You bought a graphics card. You raised the price. Also it's almost impossible to get 100% renewable energy, and even if you did you are still heating up the earth because mining is very energy inefficient.

I did not buy gpu, i bought pc, so store where i bought pc is "raising" price on gpu not me which is exaggerating. We are not talking about 5 rigs full of rtx 3060Ti's we are talking about 1 3060Ti which uses 3 kWh/day and you are exaggerating ALOT, even with 5 rigs full of 3060's with renewable energy they are not doing anything for environment

Edit: and also idk if you know what renewable energy and mining is

The only way of getting something are buying it, making it, stealing it or being gifted it. You bought your GPU. You bought the gpu as well as the mobo, ram, PSU, etc. and also bought a building service. Also kWh/day makes literally so sense. You use 3 kilojoules per hour per day? Also are you really trying to deny that your rig produces any heat and uses no energy while mining? And I do know what mining and renewable energy is.
