Standard response to all environmental fud from now on:
Bitcoin miners are zero emissions like electric cars. What are you even talking about?
Discussion
I posit that they are actually less harmful than electric cars based on their manufacturing process, focus on efficiency, scalability
Agree. But my response is enough to stun the vermin for at least several seconds 😂
I like your response because it's simple enough for people to understand and begin thinking instead of regurgitating.
I have an electric lawnmower that claims it's zero emissoon on the label. But I bought it at the time so I wouldn't have to store and transport fuel and was used for a small yard.
I'd like to see dumb marketing spread. Bitcoin hardware signing devices should market themselves as zero emissions too.
“I plug my miner into the same outlet I use to charge my electric car.”
Not that I own an EV, but it makes the point pretty succinctly.
It is also a handy way to expand the discussion to the movement control they want to impose on people.
Give them moral authority over how you use the power you pay for and watch how they pervert it.
