you don't use crypto do you? playing with money is honestly just a fun thing to do, putting it into coins you think will do well or staking it to earn more or lending it via defi, or putting it into a yearn vault etc
the other thing is that (for the 9 billionth time) people are clueless and associating all of crypto with bitcoin.
There are tons of chains that aren't proof of work and there's also nothing suggesting proof of work can't run on renewable energy either, something like 60% of chinese mining was.
- efrecon 5y agoBut the problem isn't that it can use renewable, but rather "steels" renewable that could be used for other purposes
- TomSwirly 5y ago> there's also nothing suggesting proof of work can't run on renewable energy You act like we have infinite energy of all types. But we don't - it's close to a zero-sum game. 80% of US energy comes from fossil fuels. If your blockchain uses a huge amount of renewable energy, then some other application is forced to use fossil fuels.
