Greenpeace is known to be overreacting to things a bit, and they defend behind a good logic to do that. What do they say they want? A better earth that's not killing us, which is amazing right? I mean think about it this way, would you want a world where it is doing a lot better? Everywhere green, the whole world filled with oxygen that you breath to feel better, beaches and forests all amazing? It would all happen and that would be amazing.
But that doesn't mean that you should be overreacting to every little thing and think that you are doing the right thing. I should save money and be rich too, but spending a dollar won't get me there, saving 50% of my salary would. Focus on the top 100 companies that ruin the world, they are the cause of 70% of the pollution, that would be a great start.
The reason we're 'overreacting' is that they are being deceitful.
Spending this kind of money on anti-Bitcoin campaigns is one of the worst ways I can think of to use cash for
saving the planet.
I think it's easy to understand that we're not going to be silent if someone is trying to bullshit us into this 'Bitcoin causes global warming' narrative that is a requirement for arguing against PoW.
Since we
know better, it is our duty to counter the loud voices that are prevalent in the misinformation-camp of deliberate fraudsters and deceived newbies.
I'm all for fighting global warming, but focusing on Bitcoin is a waste of time and money. It pollutes way too little for any change to its protocols to have an impact and it's moving to renewables due to economics, on its own - faster than almost any other industry.
Anyone claiming otherwise is either unknowingly wasting their time or knowingly deceiving people for whatever motive they're following.
Those perceived authorities can permaban Proof of Waste Mining.
Those perceived authorities can make it illegal to trade in PoW coins in the US.
Those perceived authorities can have you arrested if you transact in a PoW coin.
'Banning' is relative. Nobody can prevent me mining ETC on a GPU at home or Bitcoin on a stick miner; and it will be barely possible to track. Mining will continue in one way or another.
Making it illegal to use a coin works with any cryptocurrency; it has nothing to do with PoW or not. In fact, coins tend to be banned / restricted by authorities mostly by degree of privacy. This should tell you enough about the real reasons behind attempted BTC / crypto bans.
Facts such as the rolling blackouts and increasing energy costs and the increased drain on energy resources,
well you make yourself too stupid to recognize the reality you live in, that is on you and has nothing to do with me.
Do you realize that Bitcoin's energy impact is miniscule compared to global energy footprint?
Just because blackouts happen and Bitcoin mining also happens, doesn't mean causation. Classic fallacy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_does_not_imply_causationAnyone here with the ability to use logic knows Proof of waste is a dying tech.
Or we could say Bitcoin is the only PoW coin that prevailed. Since PoW is competitive by design, it pushes out weaker competitors. ETH was one of the strongest contenders until recently.
Did you run out of crayons, their was no meme in your post, just like their is never any logic in your posts.
That's interesting! So far, a lot of members in this community, but also people in my real-life ventures, valued my logic abilities. On the other hand, you present arguments riddled of logic fallacies and failed to provide a single one that held water.
