Ok, “Nah” noted. But for the past billions of years, the same resources have been “wasted” throughout the entire uncountable universe. Dismantling a few planets around a few stars to build Bitcoin mining infrastructure is not remotely problematic for a K3 civilization, for instance. The argument that because humanity is wasting it it’s bad seems faulty.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoThe argument is that Bitcoin mining will asymptotically approach to taking all resources your civilization can access. Always stuck at 99.999...%, and only adding more 9-s. So with K3 civilization, we're not talking about dismantling a few planets - but rather dismantling the neighbourhood galaxies.
