@cjd @jgoerzen @jb55 @vagrantc @Wyliertt well i find this to be another delusional argument

Yes. It’s true that building a house is a more environmentally destructive use of money than buying crypto. But it’s WAY more useful. The resources put into crypto go down a drain to create currency, something which inherently has only imaginary value, unlike a house.

Our currency system should use as little energy as possible. If we had abundant clean energy, it would be a different story. But the thing is, we don’t.

Note: I also enthusiastically reject buying plastic toys for the kids. That is worse than buying crypto to me, but it doesn’t make PoW less bad.

Is dangerously close in tone to "We're now able to make a list of people who, if mass-arrested, would probably end the pandemic", which...

1. That kind of talk is not going to build social cohesion
2. Making lists of people has a bad historical reputation

And again you have my agreement 🙂 Me as a biochemist, I welcomed the development of a vaccine - and hated how some promoted it as a "miracle cure" as much as others making false claims about it to arhue for rejection.

In the end, it is a pharmaceutical intervention, which we should use to respond to diseases - but always with care and diligence.

Brand loyalty is harmful. But these chips are to die for.
