Now compare that to how much damage billionaires and banks are doing to this planet and all the people? At least btc blockchain is not controlled by the 1% of greedy fucks.

This is literally the propaganda that banks and billionaires want you to keep parroting.

I'm not sure how much of this is accurate, but I have to agree it's been a bane to humankind. Maybe, just maybe, we should learn to stop, pull our heads out of our asses and think very carefully about potential consequences before we do things.

This guy's feed is sad. It's fine to oppose bitcoin, but if you're an anti-capitalist IMO there are many more valid targets to spend literal years tweeting against daily. Dude cares a lot about the externalities of propping up a currency yet he hasn't said a peep in all this time about the US military.

Bitcoin’s network draws a negligible amount of energy considering the amount of financial transactions it allows.

Do you think all the extremely complex (and corrupt) existing financial system is more energy efficient?

Also miners gravitate toward regions with cheap, renewable electricity, and market pressures continuously push the ecosystem toward greener power mixes, so the energy profile is improving over time.

Are you really gonna smear Bitcoin with financial missbehaviour? Do you know what's the currency most used for ilegal purposes? No? It's the dolar.

Trillions of dollars fuel narcotrafic, human trafficking and other crimes against humanity.

This post also fails to consider that Bitcoin serves a vital purpose as a savings mechanism, in the face of government that are not fiscally responsible (inflation).

Housing prices, stock market manipulation, over investments and more and more shenanigans are only incentiviced by the fact that people cannot save in any currency, when the best of it lost 90% of its value in the last 70 years.

BTW, don't get me started on the big dumpster fire of energy and capital that is the AI bubble...

If you are going to hate something you might as well take 10 minutes to understand what you hate, otherwise you are a zombie.

Are you saying the post is wrong about the 7 transactions a second and being worse than 33 bps router?
