"mining wastes electricity"

[always spoken by a baby boomer watching a 50" flat screen image of NASCAR teams burning 90 gallons of fuel per lap, while drinking Budweiser with his A/C on high]

Were you in the room when i was explaining Bitcoin to my old man? Because replace Budweiser with ice tea and add 4 inches to the TV and that is precisely what transpired.

"Bitcoin is a waste of power, you could use all that energy to compute for science!!!"

and then they have gold and money (mined and printed by damaging the environment and that of course never helped the science)

You could use all that gold for scientific devices and all that paper for printing scientific works.

Some people could argue that the best part of love is about touching, but I get your point. Grin

You are confused. That is the best part of sex. Grin

Love and sex are not separable. Why do straight people always love straight people, and gays always love gays? Why does nobody has sex with the one but loves the other gender?

Thanks Freud.

You also can not touch love, friendship, or knowledge- indeed those must be useless as well.

"You can touch gold and silver. But you can't touch a Bitcoin."

...and a numbered Swiss bank account can not be touched either. So why bother with those? LOL.

"you cannot eat bitcoins"

That reminds me, someone actually said "You can touch gold and silver. But you can't touch a Bitcoin."

If you can't fondle it or bathe in it, its no good.
