It's a really terrible comparison and nothing but a cheap tu quoque.
Crypto contributes nothing but a speculative asset to society.
Meat production, while derailed into unsustainability, has a lot more utility and is also a lot harder to unwind from current culture. Try running a survey on which of the two people would rather forego, and your 100M to 6B ratio will look rather stupid.
One shitty behavior doesn't excuse another.
- xvector 4y ago> Meat production [...] has a lot more utility We will have to agree to disagree that stimulating the taste buds has more utility than providing a trustless financial system.
- sascha_sl 4y agoI've used bitcoin as a currency in 2011, and now people keep telling me I shouldn't have because all I got for 2-million USD equivalent BTC then was a video game. What's the point of a currency that doesn't scale and that everyone is too afraid to spend because of volatility. Speculative asset, that's all you'll ever have there.
- xvector 4y agoThat comment belays a misunderstanding of the crypto sphere as a whole. If you don't want to partake in the speculative nature of the asset, you can simply transact with a stablecoin.
