Let’s make this Twins movie happen! nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m
Nowhere have I claimed that bitcoin is unique in this, so I don’t really want to engage with this ”what about”-argument of yours. I merely reacted to your post which said that ”the premise in itself is absurd.” Given what Walker was talking about I assumed you wanted to make the point that bitcoin is not taking a toll on the environment. However, you apparently just meant that ”using energy is not bad” and I have no intention to argue with that atm. Maybe we are just talking past each other.
I am not comparing energy consumption to smoking cigarettes. I was trying to make a point that you could argue that using something is not bad (or even good), but some of the effects can be quite harmful. Much like using energy. It has given us the amazing bitcoin, but not without it’s negative externalities.
One could argue that it’s not bad to enjoy a cigarette, but I think most of us would agree that the smoke is harmful for our lungs. Using energy is maybe not bad but it doesn’t come without negative externalities.
What premise? That bitcoin is not energy intensive? Yes, that seems like an absurd premise indeed.
I don’t remember who made a note on here about Christmas presents and that there should be as many as possible. That way of thinking seems very out of touch. To me the most sensible aim is to have as few as possible (while still trying to maximize the fun).
If you guys are into hiphop I really suggest you check out The Last Emperor if you haven’t already.
The whole album is a banger.
Maybe. I have no idea what Jack Dorsey is about really. Everything is more than what meets the eye.
I have some terrible vices. Yet most of the time I consider myself a good person and when I don’t I consider myself an artist.
Also true!
It’s complex.
An imposter’s dick.
Isn’t just the same as with nostr? You have to follow the right people (eg the people you want to follow), join an instance that’s about your interests and so forth - curating your feed. Now I’m talking about Mastodon solely. Bluesky might be a bit different?
How about ”owning your interaction record”?
