> Mining crypto currencies is morally corrupt and hurts our environment more than anything ever before without generating any value.

Seems like a bold claim. Is running an electric space heater morally corrupt? Is mining while using the heat morally corrupt?

Do you think crypto currency mining is worse than meat farming, actual raw material mining and all uses of the combustion engine?

As for value, right or wrong, the markets disagree.

Never thought I would live to see a morality argument about how we move our ions. Not taking a side or poking fun, just in genuine awe.

Stop being deliberately dense. The act of "moving ions" has huge externalities, mainly in the form of pollution, and that is obviously the morality that is being referred to here.

Your comment is like saying you're baffled that shooting someone is immoral because it's just "moving metal around".
