Potrzebie posted:In Sweden we're basically done with physical money all together. Less than 10% use cash for payments. People use any NFC-enabled devide, or the super popular mobile payment SWISH with instant bank to bank transfers up to USD 30.000 with a weekly max of 120.000. It's getting to the point where our central bank is preparing for a future just a few years away, with 100% digital money. Yeah this has been murder on our still considerable portion of beggars. These days I hold on to any 20 skr bills or any coins I get just for them cos yeah, my physical cash transactions are like, a couple of times a year now. My dad still uses cash as preference, I think he feels he can mentally keep track of how much he's spending then. Which, tbh, fair. Just automagically paying by vaguely waving your card over something does sometimes make it harder for the money you spent to feel 'real' to me.

It looks like people actually want to buy things over Memorial Day weekend, so they're selling their Bitcoin and we're down into crash territory again.

Coinbase sponsored a chess tournament that started at BTC 50k and the gimmick is that the prize pool is 2 BTC worth of cash. The prize pool went from over 100k down to 50k during the 7 day tournament and now recovered to 70k. Nice advertisement for a wonderful investment vehicle.

That scale says the banking system uses a total of 640MWh /yr so I think it's just pulled entirely out of an rear end. Like, that is just an impossibly low number, that's one power plant running for 45 minutes e: at current hashrates the bitcoin network burns that every 00:02:07.78 if we generously assume all of it is running the most efficient hardware available shame on an IGA fucked around with this message at 23:33 on May 31, 2021 |

With China banning bitcoin mining we should see more hashpower moving to North America where Elon has committed with miners to using renewable energy. So bitcoin is actually driving renewable and green energy, pog.

E: Like, do you think that Elon Musk, the emerald mine idiot failson, is going to actually use some of his immense wealth to, say, actually build a wind farm, or a geothermal plant, or solar panels? Do you think that he'll let a lack of renewable energy stop him from mining? Somfin fucked around with this message at 02:08 on Jun 1, 2021 |

So that chart seems to show the global banking structure using approximately 10x the amount of energy as the Bitcoin network. The Global banking structure deals with approximately 3,209x the amount of transactions that Bitcoin could theoretically deal with. I think I know which one is more efficient.
