I should probably also point out that the the electricity consumption debate on BTC is being magnified by the media. The data centers of the olympics consume way more than Bitcoin does, but ofcourse we don't pay any attention to that. If you hear the media talking about electricity consumption try for yourself to atleast get a frame of reference on what such consumption means. They're just comparing it to countries but what about certain data centers and payment solutions? How does it compare to those? How does it compare to an industrial complex? Those are the things you don't hear. Everyone is just salty for not buying BTC for pennies ( ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) ) This is a popular form of whataboutism, that I have heard here before. People trying to justify the costly nature of bitcoin by comparing it to the incomparable. Just like you did here, by comparing the worlds nr1 athletic event with 3,6billion viewers to a speculative digital asset and with maximum 5 million active users. The costs of running the bitcoin blockchain should be compared to the comparable - meaning to the costs of other blockchains! No other blockchain is comparable to Bitcoin, because no other blockchain is decentralized, and in the end, that's all that really matters. At first, bitcoin blockchain is centralized around pools. 3 pools are enough for a 51% attack. That makes bitcoin as centralized as most and more centralized then some. Second, centralization will only matter to low educated millennials, who are dumb enough to actually believe the "bitcoin vs fiat" sales pitch BS narrative. In the real world of fiance and economy, what counts is efficiency, not fantasy. If you hate bitcoin so much why are you here?

Roger really needs to pump Bcash.
his shitcoin is dying slowly
BTC : real fork BCH : real cash Yeah, BCH is just the shift of the ceiling as Satoshi suggested BTC is now some Softsegregatedwitnessforkneedslighteningandothersecondlayershittoscalebutisnotb itcoinanymore How can Bitcoin be stated as the fork when it continued as it did previously. The majority voted for Bitcoin development to continue along its path hence the general disagreement with any other coin trying to label itself as Bitcoin when it has not passed this majority test. The modification is Bitcoin cash ? Its the fork and it carries the minority with it, isnt this correct. I dont mind the existence of BCH or the attempt to take another direction even, that is the consequence of open source and a free market open to all. Its not the original Bitcoin though, it should have really taken a new name. I get the fees argument but obviously that was recognised as a problem but not just the BCH team but also the 'core' Bitcoin devs. Yes and this is why bch is loosing ground on btc on a daily basis

can someone lend me $1000000 ? I promise to pay you back double in 6 months
haha nice ... nice deal on both sides ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) $20k in 6 months is absurd. There I said it. Next leg up I start implementing the JJG strategy. was actually projecting $25000 (my cut)
