We don’t deserve this beautiful planet.

  Nature doesn't care, life will continue to exist. Humans deserve nothing, we're only given a slice of time. Life on earth is both beautiful and merciless. We're involuntary actors in a fractal universe. I do hope that we can develop effective methods to combat climate change so that we can enjoy clean water and a roof above our heads for a bit longer. It would be a shame if our civilisation disappears without a trace, lost forever to entropy. It would be nice to leave something behind, even though our existence is probably less meaningful than we tell ourselves. I'm not unhappy, I feel blessed for being here and now. The only thing I'm fed up with is people blatantly lying, without repercussions. Big corporations have fucked up the climate by lying and they want me, the average citizen, to feel guilty of my carbon footprint. We don't deserve these lies.

  Whilst I totally agree with the statement, Bitcoin doesn't even come close to factoring into my reasons for agreement.

  True. But, intentionally or not, we seem to be working hard to "fix" that problem...
