    I’m crypto neutral.

    But it’s really strange how anti-crypto ideologues don’t understand that the system of states printing money is literally destroying the planet. They can’t see the value of a free, fair, decentralized, automatable, accounting systems?

    Somehow delusional chatbots wasting energy and resources are more worthwhile?

      Printing currency isn’t destroying the planet…the current economic system is doing that, which is the same economic system that birthed crypto.

      Governments issuing currency goes back to a time long before our current consumption at all cost economic system was a thing.

      I’m fine doing away with physical dollars printed on paper and coins but crypto seems to solve none of the problems that we have with a fiat currency but instead continues to consume unnecessary amounts of energy while being driven by rich investors that would love nothing more than to spend and earn money in an untraceable way.
