Ya know, I wonder if poeple hat agree to this have made comments online about global warming and how serious a threat it is, and how dirty deniers are stupidbadpeople?

Because being proCrypto in my mind, is just like that same type of hippy type being anti-nuclear, just with more irony and ignorance.

And I’m not someone that believes 1/2 the gloom and doom, just that I like the hypocrisy of “climate informed” types being pro-crypto which is the biggest waste of power we’ve ever made.

You're judging all cryptocurrencies against Bitcoin, which is already inaccurate. They don't all work the same way or consume mass amounts of power like Bitcoin does.

That only makes sense if you ignore the fact that most "climate informed" people think renewable energy is the solution to climate change rather than luddism.
