Part of what attracted me to the concept of crypto-currency was the ability to conduct financial transactions in a medium that was not being inflated by central authorities. If it were accepted by more providers of goods and services, I wonder how the energy used to "mine bitcoin" would compare to the energy used to "run central bank offices?"
