That's ideology, I'm talking about physics.
- cogman10 5y agoWhen you say something is "better" you are talking ideology, not physics. Why is crypto "better" than literally any other application which could use excess energy production? For example, carbon sequestration.
- cinntaile 5y agoIt's not that crypto is better, it's that using it directly is better from an efficiency point of view. If you used it for carbon sequestration that would also be better compared to converting it and retaining 65-75% of the energy before using it.
- ncmncm 5y agoIt all depends on what you would have used the 65-75% of it on, later. Used at 65% to displace carbon emission overnight would be overwhelmingly better than for crypto or Facebook.
