The problem I have tearing crypto apart is that I don’t really understand it technically at all detailed level. My objections are all philosophical. It uses up a ton of energy so people can speculate and do arbitrage. How is that worth it? I’ve used it to pay journalists in Afghanistan and appreciate that but I’d rather all this energy be spent ending sanctions. What am I missing?

Happy Easter! I’m honoring Jesus by talking about the environmental impact of crypto, the petrodollar system, and why I love stablecoins. I rambled over the 5 min video limit so next in this thread I’m gonna try to explain why bitcoin’s energy usage is totally worth it

Proof of work vs proof of stake and why I think energy intensive blockchains are the only ones that have been truly decentralized
