I love when anti-crypto ideologues talk about bitcoin like it’s the only option. It’s 2024. Maybe if you didn’t spend the past 15 years mindlessly hating, you might understand there are better options now.

From your own outdated article:

the energy consumption of PoS blockchains is several orders of magnitude lower than that of PoW. It is primarily for this reason that the community of the cryptocurrency with the currently second-highest market capitalization, Ethereum, is trying to switch switched from PoW to PoS. Other cryptocurrencies, such as EOS, Tezos, and TRON – all of which feature in the Top 20 cryptocurrencies in terms of market capitalization – are already successfully using PoS.

Because the point is to have an open network.

Please explain the scam.

FWIW I agree that capitalism is a scam but I think crypto is a slight improvement over imperial currencies.

I think this idea has at least two problems:

1. Energy consumption is only a problem for outdated cryptos like bitcoin. Prettymuch every modern crypto runs on much more efficient proof-of-stake, etc.
2. Even if we wanted a solar crypto, how would we verify that it’s generated by solar power?

So you think cryptos “solve” the same problem as paper money? A distributed open network is just the same as some rich bros printing paper?

Sometime the point is not to solve a new problem but to improve a fundamentally broken “solution”.

It’s almost impossible to distinguish between zios and nazis pretending to be zios.

Is there anything more miserable than spamming lemmy with pro-genocide copypasta?

Keep going.

Wow zio copypasta gets “funnier” every day.

As occupiers, zios literally have no right to “defense”. But their victims definitely do.

It’s ok to cry about sad life experiences… But not about xitter.

blaming capitalism like it’s the only nation that employs it.

The inescapability of capitalism is not a reason to excuse it.

Yeah, that’s what happens when a bunch of slaver bros make a pact to violently enforce their disgusting privilege.

But it’s the new bible!

greedy capitalism

There’s no other kind.

Slavery is the ultimate form of capitalism where humans are “securitized” into commodities/capital.

Pretty sure most american speak the foreign language of english.

Victim blaming. Nobody asked to be born under this evil slavemaster pact.

100% accurate.

Maybe all “real crimes” are terror… But most “crimes” under the injustice system are not even crimes.

We live in a “society” where we’re regularly inches from death. Cars are death. These kinds of terror attacks are quite easy and common. It’s definitely a fuck cars issue.

wrongly predicted

Pseudo-science is a bad tool for scientific prediction.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m a big fan of marx for critiques of capitalism, etc. But the outdated and pseudo-scientific aspects should be emphasized instead of obscured.
