It's cool to see "we the working class resent being looked down on by you wealthy coastal liberal elites" used by rich libertarian dorks to defend their expensive computing clusters. Like bitcoin nerds don't even have the faux working class aesthetic, like at least buy a pickup truck and wear some overalls when you say this shit.

    Like, you can find other things that consume more energy than Bitcoin. Air travel is a great "We Live In A Society" critique if you just want to point at something and bemoan the sheer volume of fossil fuel consumed.

    But the other side of the ahem coin on this is BTC DOESN'T FUCKING DO ANYTHING. It has ZERO USE VALUE.

    Coffee. Lightbulbs. Computers used to allow speedy communication. Airplanes. All useful.

    Bitcoins do absolutely nothing useful.

      Bitcoin used to be useful at fetching drugs, but it can't even do that very well anymore compared to other cryptocurrencies! I think it's time we put BTC out to pasture.

        I have never used anything to buy drugs except cash and it has never once failed me.

          Sometimes you can't find what you're looking for in meat space, I think that's the great thing about the DNM, everything is available.

            If my drug dealers aren't high right in front of me, I don't trust what they're selling.
