Idiots have been saying that kind of thing about bitcoin's energy use for at least half a decade.

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

The only good thing about NFT's is the prospect of getting all of them to point to the goatman because of some insanely basic security error.

Has anyone identified the transaction that allegedly paid for the beeple yet?

nope! seems to have been internal to an exchange - ether moving from Metakovan's account to the Christie's account. Because the way to do transactions on the blockchain is to work around having to touch the blockchain.

by the way, here's a Quadriga documentary trailer! featuring meeeeeeeeeeeee

note also how Gerry does the Tech CEO Fake Baritone, but his actual laugh is half an octave higher

or i guess never happened?

The bump in price of b20 from the alleged sale increased the value of Metakovan's and Beeple's stakes in it by $95m and $3.8m respectively at the top, more than enough to cover the buyers fee and still make a huge profit

but it would be so hard to do that

first you'd have to go back to the creation of the universe and influence things just so, so that trees can be grown on some tiny rock and then you have to create sentient life to make paper out of the trees and ascribe them monetary value. not to mention making sure that the correct minerals exist in places where they can be reached so that the proper dyes and pigments can be made.

but with bitcoin you just use bitcoin and you're done, simple
