Telling people that bitcoin and its stupid proof of work consume energy indeed consume energy. But informing people about it is worth it. And the energy use is nothing compared to bitcoin. Not even a rounding error.
Or do you mean I make people hot (upset)?
- baconandeggs 6y agoYou seem to be the one upset. Storing gold consumes energy, printing money consumes energy, using credit cards and maintaining a bank's data centers consumes huge amounts of energy; they have been doing it for decades, and with far dirtier energy than the one we use now. There is no payment method or currency that does not consume energy in one form or another. Everything consumes energy. You by being awake are contributing to global warming. Every shower you take contributes to make the planet warmer.
- speedgoose 6y agoEverything consumes energy so it's ok to use solutions were one single transaction uses as much energy as all my showers during a year if not more ? And yes I wash myself.
