With the costs that occur in the current financial system, world hunger could probably be ended thousands of time.

Fantastic reply and 100% true. Bitcoin did not coz the problem ...why should it be blamed for that ? Its like blaming Bitcoin for a murder ...as if it could not have happened with cash. Or blaming E=mc^2 for Hiroshima & Nagasaki.

Offtopic: @zimmah You may like to get rid of your current sig. Qoinpro does not pay.

Your title of the thread is all messed up.  No, it's logically impossible to argue that Bitcoin is the REASON for world hunger. If you wanted to argue that all Bitcoin miners should stop mining and instead donate the electric cost to end world hunger, that might be true, but it's not going to happen.

How much electricity do you think their computers must be using - more than a steel mill or something?

You could solve the world hunger by selling all of the submarines that the U.S. has, they are mainly used for corporate reason to steal data, concepts etc so the change wouldn't be noticeable by the average American.

Now the U.S. is the reason for world hunger.

World hunger is the reason for world hunger.  Third world countries pouring their economies into military, industry, or commodities instead of their own people, is the reason there is world hunger.

There is no correlation with Bitcoin and world hunger.  Some of these countries don't even have readily available internet and/or electricity.  Blame their leaders and government for keeping it this way!

With the fees from the world's Governments, world hunger would've ended years ago. Yet, a new currency is the reason for world hunger?

That moment when all of the gold the catholic church holds would solve world hunger... an organization out for the people.... has the ability to feed them all but prefers to have gold chains, cups, necklaces, etc..........................................

Ya... BTC is the cause..

Are DVDs the reason for world hunger?  I read that if everyone gave food instead of buying DVDs there'd be no hunger.

If DVD's are the cause of world hunger, Blu-ray DVD's definitely is the cause of Polio, Malaria, Bird Flu, and AIDS all rolled up into one.

What makes you think like that?
