I suggest you take a look at the stranded energy market and rethink your premise. Energy is, at this moment, being overproduced by design The reason for this is because in case there is an emergency (like a snowstorm in TX) energy produce

Comparing Bitcoin to a pyramid scheme is a low IQ take, even for HN. Please do like the OP and make better FUD so we can clown you in the comments further. Also, Bitcoin is a net-positive for the environment no matter how "mean" p

HN/SV in general can't wrap their minds around Bitcoin, because it's the opposite of everything they stand for. Bitcoin doesn't "move fast and break things"... it just keeps chugging along every 10 minutes addi

> Ethereum is a far better coin for all practical purposes Typical HN/SV response when it comes to Bitcoin. I'll give anyone on here $1000 in BTC/USD/ETH if they document how to run a full node on Ethereum before May

> Bitcoin is saving the world. It saved my world, and millions of others. All the things HN pundits love to talk about, but when it comes to actually making the world a better place, people like you become Luddites and naysayers. HFSP

The author is mistaking the lock reward as the ONLY reason electricity is used to secure the network. The block rewards are a small portion of the reason a miner like Fidelity would secure the network... it's about preserving the past

Because they dismissed it, and missed out on returns greater than ANY YCOMBINATOR angel investment in their 1000+ bets as a company. Imagine feeling like the smartest person in class who missed out on getting rich from Internet money.
