I think I haven’t explained myself properly. I will admit it seems bitcoin uses more energy in this case. However, we’re comparing Bitcoins entire currency system with that of a processor of fiat. I’m on mobile right now but I would like to see that comparison for arguments sake, bitcoin ecosystem vs fiat ecosystem (including mining, storing and transport of gold)
I do see where you’re coming from for sure. I just think it’s worth noting where it is and where it’s going given it’s managed to grow to 52% in an anti bitcoin world. If bitcoin allows to be “legitimatised” I think those goals are achievable
Compared to our current system though? How much does the entire banking and credit card industry contribute to emissions for almost the same service? Bitcoin incentivises energy companies to mine BTC with excess energy.
I’ve just got rid of my credit card after 10 years in NA. Yes it can come in handy if you need a couple grand all of a sudden but damn, what a ball and chain, I hated it
Exercise was a good place to deal with anger and lower stress. Plus the routine meant even if things are my fault, this is one of the many steps to get better
I funded my entire gaming pc with bitcoin, I believe they still accept it
Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency worth owning really. All the pump and dumps/rugpulls you hear about are about “shitcoins”.
Plus word is Square and PayPal will start to implement bitcoin payments to their services very soon
Nope not what I’m saying
Oof yeah I looked back and noticed I’m arguing on memes😵💫 it’s amazing we’re on the fediverse but they can’t see the parallels
I’ll see if I can link it but some companies do, I think specifically it has to do with renewable energies but don’t quote me on that
BTC can be used like fiat so no?
Many would argue that there needs some distinction between them. The ongoing joke is “Shitcoin” as many have abandoned the benefits of bitcoin.

I agree, but it’s still early days. I’ll keep pushing for a greener development of the network, too

Yes but they are still very different things.

Lightning network exists too

Over 52% of the bitcoin network is renewable energy and growing. Y’all need to update your info, damn
Bitcoin is not crypto
What? They have like 5%. You should revisit your stance
