I’ve never quite understood why cryptocurrencies are worth anything.

The comments are even worse. So many people really don't understand this topic at all.

People make up their minds based on nothing much, maybe simple feelings, and then marshal arguments to buttress those feelings.

This is crazy absolutely nuts

Maybe some people never seen a microwave over or what 2.4 GHz can do.
Have device close to brain on left and right side is absolutly nuts

Ok so I presume you don't drive a car but ride a horse instead? You don't watch TV or listen to the radio because these devices emit harmful radiation? Internet is also dangerous because your wifi is frying your brain while you're typing this message? Don't forget about your phone and it's harmful GSM and 4G waves. Not even mentioning your house made of harmful concrete, fillers and plaster? Clothes, food etc etc etc 

hahaha exactly and its like this

My aunt had a book of old 1920s New York Times articles that I perused. One article went something like this:
"I was out on the countryside one day and saw one of these newfangled automobiles come flying down the road, dust flying in the air, making a loud noise as it approached a herd of sheep crossing the road. The auto could not stop in time crashing directly into this herd of sheep sending them flying at least 2 stories into the air. It was quite the site of mayhem and death. The farmer was left devastated. As for me, I'll stick with my trusty bicycle."

At the time cars could move at about 25mph max. We all know now what the experience would be if we were in a car coming up on a herd of sheep at 25mph. But back then nobody knew, so all they could do was believe the NYT reporter.

Of course you can still contract Covid plus die from it, while also being able transmit it even after getting your shots.

But you will far less likely to be admitted to hospital due to severity of symptoms and extremely unlikely to die as a result of infection.

Like Active servicemen wearing body armor are less likely to receive fatal injury if hit by a round.

It's up to each individual to weigh up their personal risk. (of side effects from vaccine and covid)

My daughter who spent 8 days in hospital with this disease still has some severe problems 6 months on, scarring of lungs and kidney damage.

Most people deal with the infection as a mild illness or even have zero symptoms, but if you are unlucky and your immune system causes massive inflammation in reaction to Covid you will be very ill. The problem is that you cannot tell in advance if your body will be react badly to Covid or indeed the vaccine.

The next sentence was "So I'm going to stop here until I can increase my understanding enough that I'm qualified to write on the topic", right?

The Author of the gibberish Robert A. Manning has his agenda.

In this case his remit is to trash cryptocurrencies in any old way with zero original thought.

His agenda in this instance - climate change - because he read (a load of crap) somewhere, without doing any of his own research on the subject.

If you care you can read up his well documented bio. Now a has been writing articles for a few hundred bucks for downmarket publications.

Haha! Said no one on the internet ever, lol. It's interesting to me, once you get outside our btc bubble how completely uneducated on this topic the vast majority of people are about it. It's like Dunning-Kruger Mt. Stupid level understanding combined with complete apathy/uninterest about the topic they claim to know all about.

The OP should be more worried about sunlight esp UV radiation or high energy particles from deep space passing through them. Or naturally occurring radon gas that collects in many peoples homes.

True, part of being human I guess. But then to take the next step and promote that nothing burger via publishing an essay to financial media seems a lot of work put into cognitive dissonance.

Cars suck.

Cars have contributed positively to the development of the world and have contributed hugely to the health of people where would we be without cars taking people to the hospital when they need care or ambulances which save peoples life on the daily? If you want to argue about how cars kill people with their pollution I would argue back that they save more lives by providing access to those that do not have emergency healthcare close by a way of getting to those health care that they need.

I am not sure I can teach you the whole concept of thermodynamics in a reasonable amount of time in this thread.

That's fine. I believe my o-level and a-level teachers and the lecturers that contributed to my physics degree have you covered.

What, a car emitting radiation, is that some kind of vaccine side effect?
And no the router is not right next to the brain but sure wouldn't mind upgrading to Lifi.
4G waves, you are clueless. Fourth generation or fifth generation is not a wave, different operators purchased a particular spectrum and operate at that wavelength. 5G has lots of different waves and operators can switch between. Some wavelengths are bad (2,4Ghz, 60Ghz) some weapons (93Ghz)
There is a reason microwave ovens work at 2.4Ghz and not 2.3 or 2.5Ghz no sane person would sit in it.
