Video games are entertainment. Are you suggesting we shut down tv, radio, theatre, movies, theme parks, tourism because they are all wasteful and useless?

- rs_rs_rs_rs_rs 4y agoWell if we're trying to save the environment and make a better life for future inhabitants of this planet why not shut down all of these? Why shut down just crypto currencies?
- fragmede 4y agoBecause video games scale with the number of human beings (with access to that technology). Even the most dedicated gamer can only play so much video game at a time. Cryptocurrency, however, scales to globally available power and cost. Because of the inherent competition between mining pools, the amount of electricity dedicated to mining just grows and grows.
