    So, we can all agree that bitcoin was bad for the environment.

    So many wasted computational cycles.

    We've not seen anything yet. This world will burn as we consume its worth generating absolute bullshit, via complex ML / pseudo-AI constructs.

    Disreality will become; Swamped awash with high carbon cost fuckallitudes of every and any utterly nonsensical type.

    CyBrainX - if you don't like emoji, you ain't seen nothing yet.

    • I think there are worse things that bitcoin for the environment, bitcoin is an easy target "ponzi, tulips, bad for environment"shapesalad
    • Bitcoin by it's nature, encourages sustainable sources of energy, wasted energy etc, as that's economically encouraged.shapesalad
    • If you can capture wasted energy, or free eco source energy, capture into a form of value - you'd seek it out.shapesalad

    • note he's not saying bitcoin is not bad for the environment.kingsteven

    • love that "Bitcoin by it's nature" which just means "Bitcoin uses lots of energy, all the time" :Dkingsteven
    • the fanciful definition 'wasted energy' - which usually means dissipation. here somewhere between 'excess' and ' yet to be harnessed'... wildkingsteven
    • over 60% of generated energy dissipates in to heat through the grid and power transformers before it reaches a mining rig (that turns the rest in to heat)kingsteven
    • believing in bitcoin is a prerequisite to the very belief renewable energy can be wasted (in the way shape portrays). gateway drug indeedkingsteven

    • As much as I hate emojis, they might be the least horrible thing on your list.
