I think you're virtue signalling concerns about the environment in a situation where those concerns don't even apply. Bitcoin is an idea that opens a market for financial security expressed in form of energy expenditure. That kind of security apparently has value on the market and so while users are willing to purchase it - energy will be spent. If for whatever reason bitcoin ceases to exist, this kind of energy expenditure will just migrate into different system because idea is out of the bag.

So get off your high horse and do something that actually helps the environment rather than fighting windmills.



Complete and utter libertarian nonsense and rubbish. Sociopathic rationalisation of dumb greed.


Great argument, as always, from people like you, enjoy your irrelevance :)


100% accurate. There's no counter-argument to be made to what you said, because it was in fact complete gibberish that only make sense in libertarian fantasy land. In reality, none of what you said even means anything.
