Please educate yourself harder before making these ignorant statements, unless you have a motive behind

  Instead of downvoting I decided to write this comment. I don't agree with the sentiment of the parent either, but: * Assume the best interpretation of a comment [1]. * Keep it on topic * Don't attack the person, also not implicitly (e.g. "please educate yourself", don't say that) Reread: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html One can claim many things about the parent comment. But it's all directed to the topic at hand. Cheers! [1] The best interpretation I can come up with is: yes the energy issue with crypto/bitcoin are an actual problem to solve. Yes, using crypto might be a good use-case in certain situations. While I don't believe the profit claim (there's no source), I can't disprove it either. So it poses an interesting question as to whether that's true.
