    I do. I also blame wasting the energy that we got from the dangerous source unwisely. If you don’t spend it on shit, less of it will be produced.

      Not really, the endgame is the same, the greedy corporations will exploit the planet’s resources until they’re dry and then they’ll wipe their tears with the money they made in the process, the core issue is really putting sustainability in front of everything else, because not doing so is what deals the real damage

        Greedy corporations being the doom of humanity isn’t an excuse for you to fall for a scam that helps bringing said doom. Both can be bad.

          Ok I can agree with that, I also don’t like Bitcoin specifically, but there are other cryptocurrencies which actually have a use and, at the cost of energy of course, empower the users (for privacy, currency transfers, etc.), from what I know only Monero is really worth their salt in that regard as it also uses a proof of work algorithm (RandomX) that is purpose built to be unprofitable to run on power hungry ASICs

            Yeah, they do have their uses, world desperately needs some independent currency everyone can use regardless of race, nationality, borders, government interference, and corporate greed. For now Bitcoin is kind of the only one that everyone knows well enough to trust, given how quickly everything else comes and goes, and it’s very bad because it’s the shitty one
