Wow. That's startling. Lead me to read other
articles on this, one of which said "researchers at the University
of New Mexico has put a price on that pollution,
estimatingin a paper
that every dollar of bitcoin value mined accounts for 49 cents'
worth of health and climate damage in the U.S". That sounds
unsustainable to me.
yes I read that mining Bitcoin collectively uses as much energy
as the entire country of New Zealand, and for what? it's very
wasteful uses a lot of energy. The green party should hate Bitcoin,
but many of them are big believers in it and have positions so
contradictory
and don't get me started about NFT's. I should make an NFT of
one of the KISS charts and auction off for $100K, crazy world these
days

NFT's for art seem way overblown, but I'm all in for anything
that disrupts the anti competitive practices in the American real

they are able to charge as a result of those practices. Smart
contracts on blockchains (NFT's) seem like they hold promise in
this area.
