You continue to use a strawman argument.

Why?

It is not a straw man to point out that both Bitcoin mining and the US military solve similar use cases of protecting their respective currencies.

You continue to ignore each and every point I raise to in response to your arguments.

Why?

Bitcoin can't physically protect or fight a country.

It's just not the same at all.

Referencing the us military instead of discussing Bitcoin and it's issues is strawmanning.

Instead of arguing about the point you talk about something different.

And as stated a few times: yes we need to discuss the energy usage of ALl things.

But on a Bitcoin topic the discussion is about Bitcoin and not the us military
