I don't think it does at all. Burning methane has positive effects on global warming since methane is way way waaaaaaay worse than CO2. Taking care of landfills that are largely untouched, just spewing methane is a good thing. If Bitco

Most folks would probably say "it's faster" but I think the real upside of using Svelte is the DX. It's just massively simpler and way easier to be productive.

I think this time actually is different. For the first time ever we now have a currency that is controlled by no one, with no third party risk, that can be sent in seconds across the world. It's called Bitcoin.
