- zoklet-enjoyer 3y agoExactly this. People who don't value Bitcoin or what it stands for say it's a waste of resources. Same can be said about AI image generation and LLMs
- FireBeyond 3y ago> People who don't value Bitcoin or what it stands for say it's a waste of resources. What? Even if you do value Bitcoin, you're going to make a pretty uphill argument that it's an efficient/effective use of resources to mine.
- zoklet-enjoyer 3y agoLess resources than traditional money printing/distribution/banking.
- nullindividual 3y agoSince banking is a solved problem, it sounds like getting rid of BTC would save some CO2 output.
- patmorgan23 3y agoWhat about traditional credit/electronic banking?
- drBonkers 3y agoProbably still yes if you include all the employees' professional carbon footprint.
- tmtvl 3y agoAs a completely random guess I'd say... 1/10_000_0000 of a BTC network?
