Does anybody have any real scientific insight into the idea that Cryptocurrencies can harness energy from far away places that is already being wasted? We need to send most of traditional energy to our households, cars, manufacturing facilities etc. This cost of transportation to me is the key difference. Crypocurrencies don't need this. Imagine putting some mining rigs in orbit near the sun and harnessing the already abundant solar energy. All you need to send back to earth is a few bytes.
