Am I missing something about crypto lending? Your deposit can't be FDIC insured and if borrowers are defaulting that means your deposit disappears. You can't bailout a crypto bank by printing crypto. The appreciation of Bitcoin ha

I find this kind of argument bizarre - if something is valuable to humans they will use energy for it whether it's for transportation, watching the Kardashians or mining Bitcoin. Saying one application of energy is moral and another is
