There isn't a single mention of "nuclear" in the article, written by a Malthusian.
His estimation of how much energy is "per transaction" is flawed, due to complete disregard of available scaling solutions today.
He essentially equates a central bank transaction to a penny left in a tipping jar, that's the general standard of rigour in this article.
- timeon 5y agoNuclear is not magic you need to build them first which takes time. And as article has pointed out we need to act now. So crypto is adding the problem, not solving it.
- inter_netuser 5y agoThe so-called environmentalists, who are simply the modern day malthusian luddites, insisting nuclear is bad is what needs solving. Bitcoin just demonstrated renewable energy cannot scale in practice. If only 1% of the electricity demand cannot be sustainably and economically be supplied by renewables, some serious re-thinking about strategy is in order.
