Without it I don't know how the total absolute (as opposed to relative) climate damage associated with bitcoin compares with the total absolute climate damage associated with those other things.
- xracy 4y agoGoogle it? At the least you know the market cap of bitcoin right? That's easy. Market cap of commodities is also Googleable. But it's worth noting that while people need to eat, and need to transport themselves (tougher, relatively true), they don't need to own bitcoin. Nothing in the world is driven entirely off of bitcoin.
- contextfree 4y agoSure, I just wish articles would provide the basic context needed to make sense of what's in the article. I don't think bitcoin provides any value to the world, so trivially it doesn't provide value commensurate with its environmental costs, but I was hoping the article would give me a better idea how big a deal those environmental costs are in the larger scheme of things.
