Dude it wasn’t from a reasonable place if you immediately swing to screaming about masters like a delicate snowflake because people don’t like your MLM.
The conversation is about bonfire of resources this speculative “free” asset uses and you weren’t asking in earnest you just wanted a win that your blaze wasn’t the the only one.
I never liked this kind of argument, because if bitcoin ever becomes truly mainstream, the similar ecosystem will grow around it in addition to the mining itself.
We really should focus on the renewable energy sources rather than argue who burns how much and for what reason. There’s a price mechanism (albeit flawed) for that.
I totally understand, I’m tired of having the conversation as well. In the video I posted earlier it sheds light on how renewable energy companies can be incentivised to add mining bitcoin to their process. Has a lot to do with modern tech and how energy is used/distributed.
Example of a mining company working with the Navajo nation in the US adding solar panels.
No. If a crypto were adopted at that scale, it wouldn’t be proof-of-work, so there would be no “miners” and (comparatively) no energy consumption whatsoever.
There is no clear advantage of proof of stake cryptocurrencies compared to blockchain-less centralized databases. IMHO It’s either Bitcoin, or PayPal 2.0
edit: But since people tend to be weird, maybe no advantage is needed…
If what you said was true, Bitcoin would already have given its place to any of the proof of stake coins.
But it hasn’t because it won’t. Crypto people only care about becoming rich, so to them the technology behind doesn’t matter. And there is much more money to make using Bitcoin than the rest.
Does anyone know how much energy the banking system uses?
Edit: lol so much downvote for a reasonable question? Enjoy your inflation and your money being sent overseas by your masters squares

A fraction of what it takes for thousands of machines to perform rework of the same problem.
This isn’t the good argument you think it is.
Bitcoin miners aren’t doing re work, they mine the next block of thousands of transactions.
There’s also the other side of the conversation that over 51% of the network uses green energy.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

The amount of energy the banking system uses is linear.
The amount of energy crypto uses is exponential.
It really isn’t the argument you think it is.
