Right now i can't get a graphics card because its much more efficient to use those chips for ethereum.

In parallel i'm still quite happy with how my banking account works.

So, why would i wanna look into Ethereum? Besides to wanna know why i can't get a graphics card?

Without bitcoin the problem wouldn't be to be fixed as it wouldn't be a problem.

Its also not the responsibility of the world to create unlimited carbon neutral power source for bitcoin.

Bitcoin needs to solve a real issue worth solving, which it doesn't.

Bitcoin has done shit for the environment or for reneweable energy.

I would love to see a real example where you would proof me wrong.

Nonetheless, bitcoin itself is not necssary and it doesn't solve a problem.

People trust currencies. I trust currencies.

Bitcoin also has to have a trust system and right now it is connected to currencies. It is not decoupled. The only thing bitcoin is, its irradical and its basically gambling.

bitcoin was just an idea a few years/a decade ago and is now here.

Its existing directly consumes as much energy as a whole fucking country.

I find that a very visible and easy comparision.

If i would invent something and it would consume that much energy just for transactions, i would consider this a gigantic issue.

Sooo you believe that when our current system fails, you will still be able to sell and buy bitcoins?

Like when our current currency is no longer usefull, suddenly people will use bitcoins?

How will anyone start to care about bitcoin if you can't really trade it for a currency normal people acutally use?

Since hackers can see climate change in action and don't think its smart to burn to a lot of energy for something which hasn't proven shit over its existence and still hasn't solved a real world problem.

Besides buying drugs anonymosly through tor.
