this is good for bitcoin because it shows how desperate the establishment is to discredit it, and in the meantime, everyone will see how biased and unfair the "reporting" (fud) is, and they'll be curious and learn more about bitcoin

you might think that if you had a shitload of warehouses full of overheated asics guessing numbers 24/7 and that was burning ~150 TWh a month and then you turned it off you'd be saving 150 TWh. but it turns out that's not true, because if you didn't waste that 150 TWh then all that energy would...something...and uh...it would still be wasted because solar panels...uh...there's excess supply...and so in conclusion bitcoin promotes green energy usage

Its true that bitcoin will lead to earth becoming a burning, venus-like orb of sulphur and death, but have you considered the chief mitigating factor, viz. that number will go up

paying all that money to burn coal is actually good because then other people can't burn that coal and might* use renewable energy instead

spoke to this guy earlier this week, he's good and on the ball and knows how hosed up crypto markets are and what the problem with tether is, and he's got a decent grasp of why bitcoin goes cultish, i.e. when people get desperate and think there's free money they'll say and do anything to get it

reminds me of when we could go into bitcointalk and an irc channel or two and bust the price down 50% from just shitposting. we never had to do the actual trading part though.

i think i was just misremembering the article i read. i first learned about bitcoin by reading this thing the site used to have called a...front...page? i think it was called, and they had this article https://www.somethingawful.com/news/attack-of-bitcoins/1/

yeah someone from here went onto bitcointalk and posted "Bitcoin is crashing! sell! sell!" and it crashed.

I miss the old days of bitcontalk back before all the "too the moon!" greed completely drove out everything else.

LMAO. "The bad news for Bitcoin isn't real, it's carefully orchestrated manipulation by people like me, so that our clients could buy more Bitcoins cheap. Bad news is good for Bitcoin."

From someone constantly posting really lovely memes about how people should be buying more Bitcoins and anyone who sells is a "betacuck".

it's like all the exchanges took a math test and this is how you can tell who was peeking at tether's paper to cheat

is circle trading ious with itself to pad its valuation or are they doing something else?
