The real bad thing about crypto is it facilitates illicit transactions. Helping to destroy the environment is also bad, not as bad as air travel and only slightly worse than gaming, but nowhere near as bad as being a mule for drug/sex/child traffickers. Charlie Munger said it best, would you invest in freshly harvested baby brains if it promised amazing returns? There are more ethical ways to gamble, like you could just invest in random meme stocks like a normal ape.

I've made some profit on doge, and want to see it go up. It's absolutely loving stupid, and it will definitely crash. Thankfully I can afford to lose what I bet on this.

Half of the US legitimately believes this about Planned Parenthood already There is more energy wastage from complaining about small time crypto people than what people with one graphics card spend on their energy bills idle-mining crypto. I am one nerd on the Internet that is pissing into a sea of piss. The entire world is a sinking ship and the bucket you're trying to hand me isn't a substitute for a bilge pump. Rally, lobby, take real action, otherwise you're just level 5 veganing

I was looking at the how the chia thing actually works and you would need a whole bunch (like 6 or more) of 2TB SSD doing nothing but mining it for even a tiny tiny chance of getting 1 coin in a month and the odds are only getting smaller lol. Most of these people running out to waste their money on SSDs will get nothing. I was thinking this was some kind of new bitcoin thing where people could just run it and get some coins like back in 2011 but nope.

The point is that holding yourself to a higher standard by not partaking in things is a personal choice as with anything. You choose to not contribute to a sex trafficking enabling cartel owned system of baseless transactionary gambling coins and I respect that. A lot, actually. In fact, I fully agree with it. I choose to do so because factually me as a person already consumes and pollutes way, way, way less than the average person. That is my choice. You can say it's still a bad thing for me to use some of my incredibly low monthly energy usage to contribute an incredibly miniscule amount to a blockchain or whatever and make a bit of side cash but honestly, truthfully, it does actually matter that there are bigger fish to fry. Pollution at the individual level is not nor ever has been the issue. If it's not mining, it's phone production, or factory farming, or anti-union rhetoric-- you have to pick your battles and bandwidth and find something you want to help improve. You've chosen to dissuade people from mining and you don't do it yourself, and that's a good thing. I have chosen to dissuade people from mining and yet do it myself, barely, which is a double standard but isn't that bad all things considered.

I've never seen such a whiny, petulant, childish sentence as that second one. I can hear you slamming your fingers into the keyboard from here. That sentence has three separate, independent attempts to say what you're doing isn't so bad, when you know, for certain, that what you're doing is worse than just not loving doing it. You don't dissuade anyone if you tell them you make 300 dollars worth of funbux every month but they shouldn't do the same because it's naughty. It's not that bad for you to do it? It's not that bad for them to do it either! Multiply that by millions and you literally have the loving problem that we are currently facing! A full percentage point of the entire world's electricity supply is being used for this complete loving pile of garbage, rather than not being loving generated- imagine how many loving coal plants we could get rid of without hurting the world's energy reserves right now if crypto wasn't a thing- and you are deliberately choosing to make the problem worse in your own little way. Don't come in here with your tail between your legs looking for loving sympathy, you empty sack. You're helping folks sell child porn. On purpose.

The quality of your sleep may suffer if later on a huge child sex trafficking ring or terrorist attacked is found out to have been funded by ether. The thought that you knowingly contributed to human suffering will gnaw at you. Is that worth $300 a month, especially when it appears that you can fare just fine without that money? Accepting $300 a month from sex traffickers to help them launder money from their clients? You wouldn't do that IRL, the fear of getting caught would prevent you. But you're ok with it as long as you won't get caught?

if i knew i wasn't going to get caught and i wasn't required to harm anyone with my own hands i'd take $300 a month to launder pretty much anything from anyone. that's just "being a bank." a corporate paycheque is, at MOST, one degree removed from human trafficking ANYWAY, so you're really loving punking yourself if you think you're not part and parcel of the same omnicidal system as the rest of the coin addled butt chuggers.

I don't know why it's so hard to understand that my footprint is so low that I can do things like idle my GPU for small amounts of money and not even fall under the category as "wasteful" or whatever. It's not whataboutism to point out how negligible this impact is. You can ideologically hate that I do this and justifiably so, but you're not seeing the forest for the trees. Like great, I don't idle my GPU and my total house monthly kwh goes from 350 to 290, that's basically Amish levels of power consumption. There is no whataboutism in pointing out that literally anything you do to help for any cause has a net positive impact on the world around us and getting mad at me for making negligible amounts of money with a negligible amount of power usage doesn't hurt anything but your absolutist ideals
