Don't use it then, but why would you also disparage the millions of people who are happily finding value in it?
>Just because someone does something first, doesn't mean that thing is useful or good.
Well done creating your amazing straw man.
- cogman10 5y ago> Why would you also disparage the millions of people who are happily finding value in it? Because it's an environmental disaster causing a bunch of modern issues and the defenders are being annoyingly naive about. BTC uses a ton of power, requires a ton of equipment. They solve a problem with TWh of power that is simply solved globally with kwh of power. It is beyond wasteful. > Well done creating your amazing straw man. Nah, BTC is just beyond pointless. You are arguing that it's special, but have a hard time actually articulating WHY it's special "If you can't see this, then I don't have time to explain". That's the same line cult members use defending their faith. It's a mental shortcut to avoid critically analyzing something you've bought into.
- ipaddr 5y agoBTC encourages figuring out the price of power which is an environmental goal because if that power produces greenhouse gases a carbon tax should apply. The loophole is the same loophole that allows some nations to keep pumping gas house gases without paying for the environmental cost. BTC isn't bad for the environment carbon poluting energy is. Energy from non-carbon freeing sources makes bitcoin a greencoin. We need to fix where we get energy from and price it accordingly. BTC exposes this.
