    Yeah, and Zelle, Cashapp, venmo, PayPal all do the same and don’t have that environmental impact you so easily dismissed.

    It’s been great watching Bitcoin grow from this digital currency for buying drugs online to having all these layers added on to almost sort of make it comparable to the systems we already have. By the time you guys actually make something that isn’t just stocks with no backing but faith, we’ll have moved on to a post-money society(probably not but I have more faith in that than blockchain ever being a useful currency.

      The fact that one anonymous person could create a solution that “almost sort of make(s) it comparable to the systems we already have” is fucking amazing since all of humanity worked for like 70 years since the invention of the computer to create those systems.
