Bitcoin’s insatiable appetite for energy is driving up pollution and costs for Americans, report finds
Ban bitcoins, all of them.
Or tax bitcoins at twice the cost of electricity used.
@kevinrns If anything is a definition of insanity, it is Bitcoin.
There is country smaller than Cuba that is the second largest exporter of food in the world, it has manufacturing, apartment towers, schools, hospitals, theatres. banks, credit unions, daycares, trains, harbours, grocery stores, cafes, buses, radio and tv stations, movie industry, computer manufacturing, retirement homes, nail salons, hairdressers, oh, and its the largest exporter of flowers in history all lands.
And that country uses less electricity that bitcoin "mining"
@kevinrns Kevin, don’t keep me in suspense!
We have a winner, please return to the lobby to collect the cheese.*
*There is no cheese, this is not a contest, and please, no wagering.
@kevinrns @simon_brooke @johnelalamo
All that win and then you had to bring up the cheese. The cheese does not commend them. The reason the Dutch cover their cheese with wax is because under EU law it has to include something edible.
@pieist @kevinrns @simon_brooke @johnelalamo They do (or at least did, I wouldn't be astonished if they've dropped it) a version which included some cumin seeds, which ought to count as edible.

(I really only said this for the benefit of a Dutch colleague)
@pieist @kevinrns @simon_brooke @johnelalamo real ones know the only real cheese is french 🇫🇷
