“Adopting Bitcoin as a major currency anytime in the next few decades,” he wrote, “would just exacerbate anthropogenic climate change by needlessly increasing electricity consumption until it’s too late.”
That would be a serious problem if anthropogenic climate change (a.k.a "the weather") was itself a serious problem. It only presents a problem in as far as there are an entire industry of shameless "environmental scientists" lending authority to this nonsense for the benefit of their political paymasters.
Put simply: no-one is taxing the air I breathe. Fuck. Off. And with Bitcoin, there won't be an effective tax on anything. I predict a significant stand-off between "environmentalists" and Bitcoiners on this issue. I predict Bitcoin wins.
