Re:Bitcoin consumed 134 TWh in total during 2021 by flipbrad on Sunday January 02, 2022 @11:53AM (#29770383)
I can explain my own downvote, if you like: the article is calling for reform of Bitcoing to make it more sustainable. You're pretending it's calling for bitcoin to be abolished - i.e a total strawman. You're also downplaying the enormity of the statement made by the post - including that Bitcoin has singlehandedly negated any climate gains we're making by electrifying cars. That's appalling, given the extremely low social or economic utility of Bitcoin at the moment.

I didn't see an article. I saw a tweet with statistics. I had to look for the article, it's further down past a few hidden tweets. I appreciate your written explanation, I'm not a fan of the "downvote as disagreement" mechanism.

It's not about the point you are making or that people are disagreeing. It's you misrepresenting the point of the article that's the problem.
