>doesn’t matter how much energy is used

For machines that turn coal into waste heat for no benefit, I think it does.

It’s cool that you think there is no benefit. Bitcoin is an optional system that nobody is forced to use. I find a very large benefit and so do millions of others. Enjoy watching the depreciating fiat!

Luckily Bitcoin cannot depreciate.

If times get rough Bitfinex can just print a few billion USDT.
