You don’t need. I need and a few others too. Bitcoin works great. Edit: oh, and no, it doesn’t waste anything, all the energy is used with a purpose and maximum efficiency.

There is zero waste in PoW, it’s the most efficient decentralized trustless digital money ledger in existence. Your dislike of it doesn’t change laws of physics.

It’s too radical right now, while people mistakenly think that consumption of energy equals production of energy from dirty sources it probably won’t become the norm. But eventually it will.

I don’t think there is, but then if we’re talking about putting waste flare to use rather than release it into the atmosphere and pay hefty tax, I can totally see remote (even ocean) sites carry a standard container-worth of miners - potent

Yes, that is exactly what the “personal carbon footprint” propaganda wants you to believe. Majority of the planet is close to living in poverty, majority don’t have the luxury to go for the more expensive option because of their love of the

Well guess what, a tax on ghg emissions will make both those that don’t care about environment and those that pretend to care about it, suffer economic consequences. Win-win, isn’t it?

The generator can power local bitcoin mining farm: no need to store/transport, frees up electricity in other places by making miners there less profitable.

First of all, “attempting to shift blame” is exactly the kind of propaganda I’m talking about, so kudos. Second, virtually nothing consumers require is inherently ghg-emitting, it’s just the cheapest way to satisfy the need, which is why

“Personal footprint” is propaganda by oil/gas/coal industries, it’s absolutely idiotic. There should be a worldwide tax on producing greenhouse gas. Extreme economic, business, travel, etc, isolation on every country/corporat

guess what, satoshi made some prescient decisions designing bitcoin, with such level of complexity, that you in 2022 still don't understand them. to be fair, the (briefly) richest person in the world doesn't either.

Valid point, but if a good system deters beginners by being too complex and hard to use - adoption will suffer. We want good systems to have high adoption.
