Cryptocurrency Blockchains Don’t Need to Be Energy Intensive

Have you never used a block explorer, or do you just not understand how blockchain works? I fully agree there are weird insider deals based on allocations and premines - but that's all fully auditable, and if it isn't, that says all you need to know. You are applying the flaws of the worst examples across the whole technology AKA a strawman. Maybe you're just salty you could never take the risk required to make money on new tech and don't want to think of yourself as a Luddite.

I have fun staying poor, thank you very much, as your group likes to say. And since you have managed to learn a concept called "strawmen" (not applicable here, but anyway), you may also want to learn a concept called "ad hominem".

So please tell me, how does being auditable (note that "auditable" is very different from "audited") prevents creators from selling premine?
