I wouldn't be so adamant about cryptocurrencies crap if they would just do their thing and be quiet about it. But everything ever built by that scene needs to somehow make or cost money in some form or another, and that's a telling sign for me. Also, most cryptocurrencies in fact do commit towards warming up the planet for no benefit at all. Don't know why you deny this.

>> I wouldn't be so adamant about cryptocurrencies crap if they would just do their thing and be quiet about it. Why do people need to be quiet for you? There's plenty of media I don't want to read and I don't read it. I don't try to silence it because it upsets me. >> everything ever built by that scene needs to somehow make or cost money in some form or another, and that's a telling sign for me. Making money directly by creating or building something was the norm until we started paying for it with our data. Paying for things directly and compensating creators doesn't seem like a bad thing to me. >> Also, most cryptocurrencies in fact do commit towards warming up the planet for no benefit at all. Don't know why you deny this. I don't deny it but it's much more nuanced than that. As a society we do A LOT of unnecessary things which contribute to global warming and we don't get upset about them. Get off your computer. Stop watching TV. Stop using electricity. We could all get upset at each other or we could work towards solutions that solve the problem and allow us to maintain our current lifestyles with only minor modifications. The people screaming that crypto causes climate change are the same people who think the trees they're planting are the solution to it. In reality it's a much more complex problem that's going to be solved by the people that are too busy working on the possible solutions to waste time screaming. It's not black and white.
