Earlier quoted context omitted.
BTC is quickly becoming a scapegoat for actual issues. We are producing tons of useless plastic crap thrown out almost imidietely at the purchase. Roughly half of food get throw away. But thats not an issue. Same case for cities not fiendly towards mass transit force huge polution and waste of petrol etc etc. But only if BTC were dead the global warming would stop and there would be no crime.
This is a logical fallacy. One needs to get-rid-of ALL "proof of work" crypto-"currencies" AND get-rid-of single-use plastics, half of food waste etc. There is no singular silver bullet that will tackle our environmental problems including the climate emergency. I realize that there is a lot of cognitive dissonance on this particular topic and I'll flat-out state that this is a conflict of interest.
Re: The ecological disaster that is Bitcoin
#61I did not say that. Only that BTC is being used as a distraction from actual issues. As a vector for apathy to not do anything with global warming.
