This is dumb but only because we don’t worry about energy use any other time. Tons of places in my city keep all their lights on 24/7 unnecessarily, we all are sitting on a “useless” social media, video games and movies and music are all energy uses. I don’t want the government to start limiting energy use on things it deems unimportant. Who gets to decide what counts? Just implement a carbon tax and energy use will go down if people don’t want to pay. We don’t need to police everyone’s usage, we just need the cost to actually reflect the externalities.
I want to agree with you, but crypto mining is orders of magnitude more energy than the worst lazy energy leaks.
keep mum about energy use
Whose mum?
This is a loss for everyone. Fuck these clowns.
Bitcoin is currently at $57,000 and it’s up 144% in the last year. Haters gonna hate
Make sure you keep your money in bitcoin so when it crashes we can all laugh at you. Again.
Right now I’m up over 400% on my bitcoin, it’s by far my best performing investment. Come back to this comment in 6 months and see where it’s at.
Oh I will.
