    As a former Bitcoin user and fan, I am also anti-Bitcoin. Until they can figure out how to run the network without drawing the energy equivalent of an entire developing country just to check if some numbers are correct in a database, I can’t morally justify myself using it any more.

      Bitcoin doesn’t need to figure anything out, alternatives that cost essentially 0 energy in comparison already exist on a massive scale.

          Honestly, if they’re actually vegan, then I have a lot of respect for them.

          As it stands, I think that its more likely that they’re just an annoying, virtue signaling turd.
