This is a very closed minded view. Just because you and most people in the USA don't see a use outside of speculation, there are many suffering countries that find great use in Bitcoin as an escape from their crumbling currencies. Chec

It's inflationary (5 billion more a year), but inflation rate drops overtime, reaching 0% on a long enough time line... Compared to USD inflation rate, this is much lower volatility, and makes it rather attractive. A good complement to

The 9 day median length to development of the condition leads me to believe that this number will grow, and that they are smart to pause for a week or two to see what the real numbers are.

What a terrible article. Crypto is a new technology that will likely have many uses, to advocate banning it nationally is dangerous and would quickly put us behind the rest of the world. There are easier ways around the "energy use dil

That was over ten years ago. Things change. And it can still be a currency, just not a good one today.

It's speculated on by everyone, yourself included. How can you not define people who hold or spend or trade bitcoin as users?

Bitcoin can be carbon neutral but it has a long way to go. Energy usage itself is not a bad thing, it’s the energy source that can be environmentally problematic. Currently 39% of mining power is driven by renewables [1]. It’s not much but

It’s the most secure way to do it, which unfortunately requires the most energy... I have gone back and forth when considering PoS but fact of the matter is, PoW is the most secure today. Doesn’t mean there isn’t a better solution, so I to
