> This rant has been a long time coming and is probably one of the most justified expressions of anger I've written for this blog yet. However, it will probably be the last one.

You're free to disagree whatever you wish to, but from this to "I'm ashamed to share an industry". Hey man, who are you? Then I'm ashamed to share the web with you. It's fine to disagree/agree/comment, but I'm little bit triggered of your words.

TL;DR: "cryptocurrencies is evil", but you are not understanding that it's not the technology that is evil. Cryptocurrency is a tool, and as a tool, many aspects of it depend on the people that use it. Let's then rant about AI (that is used for military scopes, so must be evil!) and IoT (ahh those chips that can not be found!!1111! Crisis!).

You're not ranting about cryptocurrencies, you're ranting about attackers. I would personally remove your last words about "ashamed".

[spoiler: I work with cryptocurrencies, sorry]

No, he's ranting about a "technology" based on wasting energy.

And he's right, that is so stupid as to be (colloquially; literally, "that it ought to be") criminal. The technology itself is evil to its roots.
