Regarding waste of electricity? Does war count?
Prior to electricity, moving and protecting gold was a major industry.
Ive read about green solutions to this problem. You'd probably still have miners, but it seems the world is moving to offchain for most transactions.
- pjc50 8y agoThis is "whataboutery" of the first degree - you can't say that no problems in the world should be addressed while war is still a thing, that's just an excuse for irresponsibility.
- Guvante 8y agoIf miners were doing the mining for the transactions maybe that would matter but the $100,000 lottery is all that miners care about. They have opinions on transactions because transactions fees make the lottery more lucrative is all (there exist evangelism in miners but they are the minority)

So your solution the ills of Satoshi's Glorious Bitcoin is to.... wait for it.... not use Bitcoin? What kind of headspace are you bitcoin shysters in where any of this makes sense? I don't understand it.
