All the skyscrapers that every major banks powers 24/7 365, all the data centers worth of servers that they use, all of the transportation costs to move gold and fiat. All of those things use zero energy, got it. I saw that and was wondering which dumbass would post it.
that's absolutely Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) (except for the extraction cost of gold, which you didn't exactly mention, but i'll give you credit for it anyways). those things you did actually mention exist for people to live and work in, providing all sorts of services. they aren't idly humming along performing an ever expanding quantity of meaningless calculations merely so that money can exist.
I hardly ever agree with Dax, even tho in private settings like Plug.DJamer we agreed immensely. His deleted post today shows we agree on Bitcoin. He claims you are a dumbass, and with most things I disagree. However in crypto, you sys, are a dumbass.
Those jobs use resources and every single financial building in the world consumes resources. What most bitcoin haters don’t understand(including, you, sys) is that the energy consumption of the network is what secures it. Show me a power consumption of all banks, big and small, who have connections to the internet, worldwide, and prove they don’t use astronomical amounts of energy, from the buildings, to the data centers, to the ships that carry gold across the ocean.
The biggest thing that dumbasses like sys don’t get is a vast majority of the power of the miners is cheap. It is power that is renewable, mostly from hydroelectric plants, that would otherwise be unused because demand is so small.
You must have no trust in an internet currency. How is that achieved? It’s achieved through math, the universal truth. How is math achieved to be safe and secure, well you spread it out and DECENTRALIZE it. No central bank or government controls it.
Sys, this is a stupid hill to die on. If you want to continue this dumb rough ridin' charade of personal opinion about something you don’t understand, that’s fine. I’m more than happy to disprove your claims as it pertains to energy and waste.
