>but know that leaving a money printer that makes $5 a day sitting idle is stupid. ;) > Every individual is financially incentivized to keep playing their part, so everyone would have to collectively agree to not make money by taking part, and as people fall out the incentives become steeper and steeper to participate. Would you mine on your card for $100 a day? $1000 a day? >We will just have to live with destroying our planet, because now that it's been created it's virtually impossible to kill. You seem to have made up your mind on that front. If all you're worried about is making money at the cost of perpetuating behavior/consumption habits that are in the macroscale approaching pathological in terms of sustainability, that's on yo. Don't be surprised when the rest of society puts a punitive price tag on the activity as people are better able to quantify the tangible costs, and the layers of hype are peeled away.
