    When your tech is incredibly wasteful, slow, can't scale and serves basically no real purpose then maybe you should just stop instead of trying to fix it.

    Proof of stake or proof of work, it's still just the dumbest sort of capitalist excess.

      The thing is that you can't really shut it down because it is so decentralized.

        So centralize it.

        Dump NSA resources in until you have control of the network then destroy it.

            Again, the United States government benefits from the existence of cryptocurrency

            Which is why they allow it to exist.

            I'm saying the idea that it's safe or independent is a pipe dream.

      btc and blockchain are solutions in search of a problem (that probably doesn't exist)
