People making noise about Bitcoin energy consumption seem to have little idea how much energy anything else uses kinda like how Americans only compare everything to Hitler because WW2 is all we’re really taught in school.
People suddenly act like they care about how others choose to spend their energy when it comes to Bitcoin but not anything else, like the incredible amount of land and energy it took to bring that pound of meat to your table that you only eat because it pleases your tastebuds. Or the tech gadgets you own.
Seems convenient to only turn on the ol careface when it’s something you don’t happen to indulge in, yet it makes you blind to the inconsistency of your position. There are a lot of necks on the chopping block long before you get to Bitcoin mining when you start bringing up the metrics that you think damn Bitcoin mining, probably your entire way of life.
