Grabbing coffee, barista is saying there won’t be social security retirement for him so I said “buy bitcoin”.

He only has eth bcs “the monetary policy is better for the environment than bitcoin”.

Me: What’s the policy?

Him:

Me:

Him:

Me: Can we actually make that 2 lattes?

Anyway, these two sugar free vanilla lattes with heavy cream cost $14.40 but explaining why eth isn’t decentralized and showing him this graphic putting bitcoin energy consumption into perspective:

Priceless

Mining is an inherently risky business with usually thin margins. The beneficiaries of the 70% premine didn't want to invest in mining. That's why they supported the switch to PoS. PoS rewards rent-seeking behavior.

I also have a theory that because there is no energy cost involved in minting new currency that it's value will trend lower over time. Just like fiat.

Good girl.👌
