Bitcoin is arguably the worst designed technology product in history.

Burning $88k of carbon to run the world’s slowest payment network and produce a tiny corpus of data is stratospherically dumb.

The technological equivalent of raising a forest to produce a toothpick.

Just because “it works” (which is arguable in itself) doesn’t mean it isn’t stupid.
