This is the only good news I've read in a while.

It stopped being profitable for a few years, even... Everyone is mining at a loss.

True, I did miss the pump on that as well as on a lot of things including stocks, commodities, etc... However, what's different about those investments is that they aren't built on scams, crime, or environmental destruction.

Lmao. Scams: Tesla Crime: Phillip Morris Environmental destruction: Dexco SA

Yes they are built on scams. They’re just semi approved scams. There are hundreds more examples in each category spanning over a hundred years.

Sure, there are bad companies. I didn't mean to imply that I'm defending them. Take for example pollution. With a lot stronger environmental regulations, we can stop both corporate pollution and crypto pollution, as well.
