There is no stranded energy.

Stranded energy is basically energy which should be used but its commercially a lot more efficient to do energy abitrage with a global finance market with a local energy market.

Thats the biggest shit of bitcoin ever.

And no 3% for provoding gambling and only a small amount of money value is a bad joke. 3% is not nothing.

We increased the climate change rate per decade from 0.2 to 0.4 due to the amount of co2. Everything hurts us here.

Bitcoin is responsible for a gas powerp lant in NYC being turned on again. It only mines bitcoins now. It creates just heat and co2.

Bitcoin is responsible for power stealing across the planet.

Incorrect. Stranded energy is energy that can’t be used and is wasted instead.

Thinking it only provides gambling is an opinion. One I disagree with.

Just like many things in life, Bitcoin the protocol is not responsible but the participants in the system. Regardless I don’t see a power plant being turned on as inherently a bad thing.

You don’t see it as worth it but the people who pay for it do. Who are you to decide what an entity chooses to legally utilize their power for?
