I'd really like for this to NOT BE TRUE. But let's say that it is. People running bitcoin miners 24/7 are using electricity, which keeps the electric company PROFITABLE. Why is that a bad thing?
I know that the shampoo manufacturers would just LOVE it if I bought 10 million bottles of shampoo and poured them straight down the drain. Oh, the sales figures are doing great! Number goes up!
I know that the Mountain Dew manufacturers would absolutely LOVE it if I bought 20 million 2-liter bottles of Mountain Dew every day.
So, BITCOIN is making capitalism PROFITABLE. Discuss why anyone should think this is a bad thing.
