I see #Bitcoin POW today monetizing stranded energy and expanding marginal grids in the 3rd world.

Whilst I can at least understand someone using #Solana if they do care about #NFTs [I'm not telling artists how to monetize their work - almost all I know don't do #NFT|s out of principle but I do know some that did but that's not point!] there is no valid reason to use #Bitcoin :bitcoin: !
Even if you haven't heard of #LocalMonero and only trust #Coinbase of all places there are far better coins to swap into #Monero :monero: or whatever.
https://mstdn.social/@kkarhan/111048421768067616

@WorkWithKirk not really.

#Monero :monero: works as #Currency and #MoneyTransfer system, #Bitcoin :bitcoin: and #Ethereum as #CapitalFlight system and #NFTs are an excellent was to make money vanish / pop-up because unlike real #Art with real #Value by real #Collectors, there's neither #KYC nor #AML on #OpenSea or any other #NFT "#Marketplace"...

@alexdp @asei_sano @aruiz

Simply by virtue that neither #Bitcoin :bitcoin: nor #Ethereum are even remotely good at what they aim at...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ_xWvX1n9g&t=1105s

@alexdp @asei_sano @aruiz I merely mentioned #Solana out of completeness.

Not that I like #NFTs at all, but literally EVERYTHING is better than #Bitcoin :bitcoin: !
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ_xWvX1n9g&t=852s

@asei_sano @aruiz What for?

Iff you want an immuteable database, there's #ImmuSB:
https://immudb.io

If you need a #Blockchain just to shove #NFT's on, there's #Solana...

If you want a payment system, there's #Monero :monero: ...

There is NO RATIONAL REASON to use #Bitcoin :bitcoin: for anything bona-fide (#BiggerFoolsScams don't count as bona-fide!) ..

@asei_sano @aruiz Unlike #ASICs which can't be repurposed....

Again: There is no valid reason to use #Bitcoin :bitcoin: except to sell it to some #BiggerFool, thus cashout as best as possible and if possible, retire.

And no, #CryptoBro-ruled #Dictatorship #ElSalvador won't fix that: In fact, it only made it worse!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HIbRlhJfSw

@asei_sano @aruiz So you do have an escalating commitment and naively believe that artifical scarcity will fix issues.

Well guess what: Whilst #Bitcoin :bitcoin: 's absolute limit of coins will kill it long-term, the #TailEmission of #Monero :monero: will long-term result in a asymptotically near-zero inflation rate.

It merely compensates for the loss of coins AND keeps miners from continuing go facilitate transactions.

Furthermore unlike #ASIC- & #FPGA-based mining, Monero is decentralized.

@asei_sano @aruiz #Fact: #Bitcoin :bitcoin: just like #Ethereum are indefensible and both #EnvoirmentalCrimes and can only be meaningfully used for Capital Flight by rich oligarchs that don't have easier tools for #MoneyLaundering!

That's why #Monero :monero: is superior in every metric you can throw at it!
https://mstdn.social/@kkarhan/111104696515870820

And no, your comparison is bad as #eMail doesn't have to suck - not even with proper* #E2EE (like #OpenPGP)!

@salixlucida its always been an interesting hypothesis. Personally, I think #Bitcoin was an invention overdue for discovery given the tools and tech easily at hand. Satoshi put the pieces together. If not him then, just some other cipherpunk later.

@asei_sano @aruiz simple: cease existing!

#Bitcoin :bitcoin: will do so once the last #cpin has been mined and transaction fees will skyrocket...

Whereas #Monero :monero: doesn't have that problem: It's on it's #TailEmission and is quite stable...

As history has shown us, Bitcoin is unable or rather unwilling to adjust to necessary changes (#HardForks like #BitcoinCash are evidence) and thus it will die out soomer or later...

Already it's reliance on hacks like #LightningNetwork make it bad.

And this doesn't cover all the other bloody cryptocurrencies that techbros have invented. #bitcoin https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S221282712300094X

... sehr stark emotional polarisiert, sodass es kaum möglich ist, zu den relevanten objektiven und normativen Streitpunkten durchzudringen. Das ist nicht gut. Die #Bitcoin Technologie ist nunmal da und hat einen gesellschaftlichen Einfluss. Wo, wenn nicht im #Chaos-Umfeld soll denn über das Thema diskutiert werden?

Das Thema könnte IMHO ein gutes Beispiel sein, um konstruktive digitale Diskussionskultur z.B. mit Ansätzen wie argdown [2] auszuprobieren.

Ich war gestern auf den #Datenspuren #ds23. Nach meinem Workshop zu "Konstruktiver digitaler Diskussionskultur" [1] hab ich unter anderem mit zwei Menschen über #Bitcoin gesprochen. Ich bin dieser Technologie eher skeptisch eingestellt, aber ich möchte der Behauptung "deren Gehirn ist komplett toast" entschieden widersprechen.

In the #CryptoCurrency world, it's hard to tell a scam from a non-scam.

The operational dynamics are identical.

The only difference is how quickly you realize your money is gone.

#bitcoin #metamask #eth #btc #blockchain #fintech #investing #ponzi #fraud #cryptoReality

@brainscores @bitcoin Seriously...

We don't need to start with #Bitcoin when there isn't even a #PublicBank that provides people with a free basic bank account they can get them to deposit theor savings safer than in stacks of dollar bills below their bed.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xe6nLVXEC0&63s

Also #Bitcoin :bitcoin: #Mining has been unprofitable for over a decade at this point due to #ASIC's and even then people shifted gears to #Dogecoin :cmx_doge: :doge: and finally #Monero :monero: when #ApartheidEmeraldBoy made the former one moon and they cashed out by selling to #BiggerFools...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sw6aMxaNmXA

Because there is no such thing as a working #Bitcoin :bitcoin: economy and even #Monero :monero: mostly gets adopted because alternatives from #PayPal to #SEPA #WireTransfer and from #WesternUniom to #Hawala are slower, less convenient and/or more expensive and/or less fungible.

And even then it's transaction volumes are still dwarfed by #VISA & #MasterCard - maybe even a bit higher than #AmericanExpress nowadays...

And yes, of all the #Cryptocurrencies that #ElSalvador could've chosen, #Bitcoin :bitcoin: is the worst of them all!!!

It's way too slow, fragile, fluctuating and costly even compared to #Ethereum...

And espechally compared to #Monero :monero: which just works.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asmOZh-E8W0&t=1860s

Needless to say:

Reality kicked in and even in the most #CryptoBro infested beach towns #Bitcoin doesn't work.

And if a self-professed #CryptoInfluencer can'd do a #LightningNetwork #node you know that shit is bad.

So yesh, 10+ mins for a transaction to appear on the blockchain (not even be confirmed) is ridiulous when #Monero does that in 2min and 6mins respectably and that those funds are spendabke after a mere 10 blocks or 20mins by the reciever...

@threetails OFC...

If necessary those people wake up with some #MS13 tatoo on their ass after being arrested ..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aogw71PXvvc

Then OFC a #PostPrivacy #Blockchain like #Bitcoin can be used to really incriminate people:

You delivered takeaway that was paid for with "drug money" or even got tipped with it: Congrats, you are a criminal by association - you have illegal funds in your possession!

#ElSavador is a good example why you should never let a #Bitcoin :bitcoin: - #Fanboy and #CryptoBro like #Bukele take power:

He'd rather wreck a nation's #economy with #bullshit ideas like "forcibly instating Bitcoin as mandatory legal tender" than admitting bs.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sEbVm8yGRM

Seriously, even I as #Monero :monero: advocate would not demand every business to accept it in lieu of #Euro or even #USD...

@dangillmor At what point should a government seize control of private resources? Like a #usstatedepartment take over of #Starlink in wartime. Or the #Texasgrid turn off the power to #Texas #bitcoin miners during a #heatwave (or permanently as polluters). What's the opposite of #privatize again?

#Bitcoin #mining aided #Texas's #electrical grid, when the #bitcoinMining company #RiotPlatforms reduced its power usage amid the summer heatwave.

> only a handful of business operations can effectively implement significant demand response systems, and #cryptoMining might be the most optimal at shedding load.

Per @Chron : While ERCOT begged Texans to conserve power, Texas paid $31 million to Riot, a bitcoin miner, to cut its energy use.

In Texas, #Bitcoin mining electricity usage est? 33 gigawatts/yr

All Houston households usage est ? - 6 GW/yr

"ERCOT's massive Riot payouts came as the agency asked #Texans to reduce power use during peak demand periods multiple times during the same month...

#Bitcoin mining now accounts for a huge chunk of #Texas' energy consumption: #ERCOT estimated in 2022 that bitcoin projects accounted for 33 gigawatts (GW) of energy in its interconnection queue. All #Houston households combined use an estimated 6 GW per year by comparison."

"burning tyres to fuel crypto mining"
If Civilisation makes it into later centuries they'll look back on this like it were madness.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/aug/31/bitcoin-mining-plan-pennsylvania-tire-burning

#Bitcoin #Crypto

There is an active local debate on whether it is environmentally sound to 
 burn coal waste owing to the pollution this releases. If it remains in place it 
 can leech toxins. 
 Now the question of tires has come to the fore. 
 "Burning tires, to fuel something like bitcoin or cryptocurrency, which gives 
 no value to anybody here locally, in my mind, is really unacceptable," 
 Etheridge said.
"We're not gonna make it, are we" says Edward Furlong of Humanity  in the movie Terminator II

@gerrymcgovern @Brad_Rosenheim @shepgo

Then maybe don't even look at the #eWaste-Producing #Shotshow that is the #1 #Shitcoin aka. #Bitcoin :bitcoin: where millions of ASICs get made that can't be repurposed in any shape or form unlike a CPU, GPU or even FPGA...

Adjusted for inflation, a #bitcoin is worth as much today as it was in 2017 at ATH before it steadily crashed to $3k. https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-worth-less-20k-2023-us-inflation
