    I have a better idea for a crypto plan. Let’s chain crypto bros to their mining rigs and throw them both into the ocean. Take out two pieces of trash at once.

      Now that’s a block chain I would get behind. But could we not pollute the ocean with heavy metals?

        Eh. Less damage from the carbon emissions in the long run. And we can chuck 'em in one of those ocean deserts that doesn’t have much sea life in it.

      Mining isn’t a necessity. ETH lowered it’s power usage by 98% by switching to Proof of Stake

          Given how many people crow on about crypto’s environmental impact, I would say that a whole shit ton of people care.

          I do.
          Your claim has been falsified.

            Sorry, I’m done giving mental cycles to crypto apologeia.

              Well, you could try to see things as differently as they are. While I agree that PoW aka ‘mining’ is bad (e.g. for the environment) and there are a gazillion of scams out there, that doesn’t mean that each and every crypto is bad.

                    Nah. Just stating a fact of nature. Worms belong in the dirt. Pandas belong in a bamboo forest. And crypto bros…belong in the ocean!

                  Oh, I do like the sea, the waves, the beach.
                  What I don’t like so much is people trying to force their (imho) limited perspective on others.
                  So please go on hating crypto unaware that you basically just hate Bitcoin (and potentially other crypto involving mining) - at least that can be derived from your recent comments - but leave me out of it.
                  If you can’t deal with having easily falsified a statement of yours, that had no merit in the first place, you might consider refraining from making such statements.
                  Have fun!
