I love how on AI, energy is good, it'd restarting power plants. But with Bitcoin mining securing the most sound energy on the planet, it's wasteful.

Bitcoin has constant energy use attacks.

AI apparently has the opposite, haha. Ok

Bitcoin mining is good for the grid. Look at MARA or Blockstream and probably others. When the output of renewable energy sources exceeds the demands of the grid, the excess energy can be used to mine bitcoin. If the grid demands more, the miners dynamically shut off or reduce power consumption.

I also think this is something people don't consider. Energy usage is good.

I think you may have missed the point. I agree with you. My issue is with how the media and the masses have different coverage of AI power use vs Bitcoin Mining energy use

My bad I got carried away lol. I agree, the media is so selective.
