AC has a real world use of cooling down a house; Bitcoin doesn't. That is a horrible comparison.
TikTok or Youtube videos might be more akin, but even then people are creating content which others are willing to consume. BTC is literally just a transfer of value, which could be done with much less power spent.
- ayemiller 6y agoCan transfer of value be done with much less power spent (especially if decentralized)? If it there is a superior alternative, wouldn't you be referencing it by name?
- darkcha0s 6y agoWhy does it need to be decentralized? That's you shoehorning crypto-anarchism into the equation. I am fine with a centralized currency, just as I am with a centralized group of people making critical decisions for the country (governments).
- trident5000 6y agoYes it is known that Bitcoin doesnt cool a house. Thank you for pointing that out captain obvious. Its purpose is to stop central banks from destroying peoples lifelong labor they sacrificed their time and health for. Ill leave it to you to invent the secure system that uses less power since nobody else seems to be able to figure it out. If you know of a way, please specify step by step in detail and how to roll that out effectively.
- darkcha0s 6y agoAs I mentioned into the other comment- you are shoehorning decentralism into the topic. Not everyone has the belief that central banks are destroying peoples lives; or at least most will recognize the role it plays in keeping a relatively stable economy.
