the people calling to ban crypto don't care about the environment, that's just an easy selling point for them to garner public support from people who normally wouldn't care. It's all about control of the financial system
- aww_dang 5y agoWhat's your opinion on carbon credits?
- lancemurdock 5y agovery much agree
- brodo 5y agoI know a lot of people in XR and FF who are against crypto because of the environment.
- nscalf 5y agoI think it's probably a lot of motives, but one of them is that most of our (USA) politicians are too old, and frankly many too dumb, to properly grasp nuanced topics like these. They don't understand crypto, or the internet, or cyber warfare, or larger economic conflict, or any number of critical things they should be well informed on. Their prime focus is on getting reelected and pushing their own agenda, not good stewardship of the nation. I agree that they are pandering on the environment point, there are much more valuable things to spend your time on if you're worried about the environment.
