Abhorrent is how environmentalists aren't pushing for nuclear energy. The people in power don't want a solution that'll essentially solve the power problem. They want a continuous battle over renewables.
You're completely changing the subject into a whataboutist digression here.
Resorting to a such a fallacy is generally a sign you have nothing defensible to say about the absurd waste BTC produces
Even if you want to change the subject, I can't get a GPU because 1/5th of the GPU supply is shipped to ETH mines.

I think it's perfectly relevant that this whole discussion about BTC waste could have been avoided if we just switched to nuclear. I'm pointing out that environmentalists are actually partially responsible for creating these problems.
Regarding GPUs did it ever occur to you that YOU are wasting electricity? From my perspective I'm trying to use crypto to create a better world.
In any case, the "unique characteristics of Bitcoin" are what makes it abhorrent.
I just mentioned the two top PoS crypto, but anything that doesn't gobble resources as a byproduct of the network security cost is fine. I agree that Cardano is run by a maniac and Solana is centralized and too affiliated with scammers (SBF)
PoS Ethereum would be fine by me, but they've been saying they'll switch forever, so I'll believe it when I see it.
