But Snapchat has fixed computation needs. If they figure out how to run everything on 50% of the power, their emissions go down by 50%.

BTC has no such property. Make it 1,000 times more efficient to compute hashes and you just hash 1,000 times faster. No change in power use.

You can make that argument for any piece of entertainment. why live? let's all kill ourselves, that way we won't use any energy anymore.

You can make the argument for anything, because it's a dumb argument - perhaps the point was entirely too buried :)

I like the way you think

Is your comment any better?
