Cryptocurrency bad -> explains why basically everything related to mining is bad instead of telling us why cryptocurrencies are bad.

Should be named mining is a disaster.

PS: I have no stakes in anything that requires mining not even gold.

Out of interest, do you hold any proof of stake currencies? I despise the externalities of proof of work, so interested in whether proof of stake is in a useful place yet.
I dont, but I probably will soon dude to an airdrop. Although not quiet sure if it counts as PoS because its does not run on PoS its just uses staking for some stuff.

Anyway my mininga statement was more of a joke because people would not trow gold into the rant about mining but are fine adding all other coins that have no mining at all.

Also not big fan of PoS as it has some of the same unwanted properties. So I dont intend to buy any PoS coins. I prefer FBA.
