@ModernApostate I don’t think Bitcoin’s energy expenditure needs to be defended - it defends itself ðŸ˜
I also think most users don’t care.
@ModernApostate Seems like a straw man argument to me. I don’t recall energy efficiency ever being put forth as one of Bitcoin’s goals.
@ModernApostate Maybe… I have no idea. Not sure it’s even worth trying to compare.
As the BTC exchange rate rises, so shall its energy expenditure. Some see increased waste. I see a system bootstrapping its own security.
The amount of energy being “wasted” securing Bitcoin via Proof of Work is just the amount that the market has decided is worth paying for.

@alansilbert It’s a shame @UncontrolRisk isn’t active on Twitter to give us updates. Looks like @WritingFactory switched to Trump bashing.
