    Mining isn’t a necessity. ETH lowered it’s power usage by 98% by switching to Proof of Stake

        Given how many people crow on about crypto’s environmental impact, I would say that a whole shit ton of people care.

            Well, you could try to see things as differently as they are. While I agree that PoW aka ‘mining’ is bad (e.g. for the environment) and there are a gazillion of scams out there, that doesn’t mean that each and every crypto is bad.

                Oh, I do like the sea, the waves, the beach.
                What I don’t like so much is people trying to force their (imho) limited perspective on others.
                So please go on hating crypto unaware that you basically just hate Bitcoin (and potentially other crypto involving mining) - at least that can be derived from your recent comments - but leave me out of it.
                If you can’t deal with having easily falsified a statement of yours, that had no merit in the first place, you might consider refraining from making such statements.
                Have fun!

                  Nah. Just stating a fact of nature. Worms belong in the dirt. Pandas belong in a bamboo forest. And crypto bros…belong in the ocean!

                    Stating a fact about a crypto doesn’t make me a crypto bro, just like making a single (somewhat abstracted, but obvious) death threat doesn’t make you a murderer. Necessarily.

                    These facts of nature don’t extend to what you call ‘crypto bros’, because they’re not that part of nature you insinuate they are.
