Some posters here, seem to think that you just accept that these fucking attackers have been acting in good faith in order to "improve" bitcoin, which should be obvious, for the most part, that they are not acting in good faith

Light Pollution in the U.S. alone: 120 terawatt-hours/year

Bitcoin Network: 11 terrawatt-hours/year (??)

CERN Hadron Collider:  1.3 terrawatt-hours/year

Interesting figures - thanks.



shit guys we better up our game this is what we're up against
