I don't know, how much energy is spent producing reality TV shows? To me, those have less value than instant, trustless payments.
That's not to say that I don't hope non-PoW cryptocurrencies become more popular, we should conserve energy when we can. I haven't looked very much into it, but Stellar seems interesting, and it's not PoW.
- irishloop 7y agoWhile I'm not a fan of reality TV, I know plenty of people who are, and whose lives are enriched because of reality television. There is no accounting for taste. I don't know how much people's lives are enriched by cryptocurrency. Other than the people directly involved in mining and speculating on it.

Plus, it lets me buy LSD online, which is something that I believe I should definitely be able to do but currently cannot. Unjust laws change by disobeying them, and if you clamped down on that 100%, neither homosexuality nor cannabis would be legal now.
