Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have no future.
cbc.ca/news/business/bitcoin-electricity-1.4668768 >Bitcoin is an energy hog: New numbers suggest how big a problem it is >A single bitcoin transaction uses more energy than a Canadian home for a month, one expert is estimating
>Bitcoin miners will guzzle more electricity this year than some countries do, according to new numbers from a leading researcher. And while some critics take issue with these figures, few disagree that the digital currency's energy use is a problem that's only getting bigger.
>By his math, computers hashing for bitcoins — known as "miners" — are currently using at least 2.5 gigawatts of power, and are on track to collectively suck up more than three times that by the end of this year. That's more than Ireland, Austria, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands and most Canadian provinces each use in a year.
Bitcoin does have some major scaling issues though that will make the coin come to a grinding halt sometime in the future. Newer altcoins are much, much faster at confirming transactions
Eli Hughes
When infinite energy kicks in this will be utterly irrelevant
Zachary Murphy
not realistic until people realize that nuclear power is the future
Chase Collins
Bitcoin works just fine. Don't fall for the Blockstream Jew.
>implying we wont have nuclear space elevators and lel at the idea of bitcoin taking "too much energy"
Brandon Brooks
>BCH >BTC >same thing bitcoin cash might aswell be another altcoin
Ryan Powell
Fusion specifically
Austin Wood
What is a Bitcoin exactly?
Sebastian Gomez
Fusion doesn't work yet but thorium reactors could be everywhere and clean right now
Grayson Lee
I said don't fall for the Blockstream Jew.
Aiden Bell
Ok pajeet keep shilling me your disguised altcoin
Nathan Kelly
Bitcoin was invented by Satoshi Nakamoto which translates as Central Intelligence, which should say it all.
Logan Roberts
>2.5 gigawatts nice we now have enough to power two flux capacitors.
Jayden Reed
The world not coping with bitcoin shows how hard envirofags will attack the AI under a smart world. It will take orders of magnitude more power. Also proof of stake, you illiterate.
Won't ASIC mining solve this? or do i have it the other way around?
Nicholas Thompson
Bitcoin is doomed to fail, but cryptocurrency is the future.
I can see it someday replacing petrodollar
Zachary Ortiz
This whole argument is misleading because they are insinuating that mining power consumption is related to transaction rate which it isn't even a little. Also yes ASICs add much more power efficiency.

also, i never hear these faggots whining about how much energy their facebook posts are using or google searches are consuming. They all have big fucking datacenters
Dominic Bailey

Carter Nguyen
(((they))) arent going to let you get around with what they keep you enslaved with.
>buying wowgold tier cryptocurrency that helps the jews continue to keep you under the boot Gotta love the idiots that buy crypto shit.
Owen Hughes
How does it keep you under the Jews boot? It does the exact opposite and elimnates bankes from the equation. You can send millions worth in a single transaction, pay a tiny fee and no one will ever know. What the fuck are you talking about
Nicholas Stewart
Yeah! All those bankers printing off new Bitcoin!
Jaxon Martin
Modern banking is far more energy efficient
Gabriel Young
>There are approximately 30,000 banks in the world, each one with servers, branch offices, and ATMs. As the Visa network is just that, a network, all transactions made on it need to run back and forth through banking infrastructure.
>There are a lot of middlemen in the process of doing a single Visa transaction. Therefore, Domingo asserts that the energy consumption of all banks is directly and inexorably tied to the Visa network.
>Adding together all of these factors, we get approximately 100 or so terawatts of power consumed by banks each year. Clearly, this pales in comparison to the 25-30 terawatts Bitcoin consumes.
Ye except traditional banks go trough the same amount of transactions each minute bitcoing goes trough a year with just 3 times as much energy.
Brandon Ortiz
if normies cared about the environment they would shutdown streaming services that are cancer like jewtube and twitch Seriously I bet theres a data server the size of a warehouse full of twitch vods of dumbass millenials playing league of legends and recording themselves 8hr/day in 1440p to hundreds and thousands of IPs across international lines during peak data hours. Imagine the amount of bandwidth wasted calculating, dissassembling and reassembling pixels of some kids "VIDYA GAME TRIPLE KILL MARATHON 24 HOUR CHARITY STREAM WORLD OF WARCRAFT KAPPA SUB TRAIN HYPE" all over the world 24/7 365 since twitch.tv came into existence.
Gavin Lopez
You don't value human freedom then you don't value bitcoin. If you don't value human freedom then you don't value human life so do not be surprised when your philosophy is applied to you.
Julian Sanchez
Bitcoin is pretty much the same function as gold. A universal non-fiat/non-sovereign controlled currency. you may as well stick with the one that's tried and true for 5000 yea\rs instead. It will perform just as well if you are buying bitcoin because you bet a USD collapse is coming (not likely).
If you're buying bitcoins to get away from bank control you ]are going to be disappointed. Goldman Sachs really doesn't care what currency or crypto currency you use, their main business is making money off credit spreads and brokering access to capital. They could be doing that with dollars, rupees, pesos or bitcoin, all the same to them.
Justin Phillips
If that was true, how could anyone make a profit if the transaction fees are only like $50 at most? Do Canadians spend less than $50 on electricity a month?
Jack Rodriguez
Energy is your argument? Jesus christ
Isaac Foster
Fuck off maple nigger.
Anthony Torres
solving the byzantine generals problem is NOT the same as ANYTHING you morons are saying
Aaron Perry
The reward for solving a block is intended to gradually lower, energy consumption will scale down accordingly as mining becomes no longer profitable.
Kevin Nelson
seeAmount of transactions has no bearing on power consumption.
FAKE NEWS. Just like any peer-to-peer network, the more people that use it the faster the speeds will be. Do you even node bro?
Aaron Russell
Ticks all the boxes for not real crypto.
Elijah Hernandez
>There's a demand for a product we can easily produce >We tell them to stop giving us a demand for that product. Why not just build these guys a nuke plant? Even when this whole shitstorm bursts, at least then we'll have a nuke plant paid for in part by the tears of bitcoin miners.
Ryder Collins
Iota solved this problem. Do some research cuck
Cooper King
Bitcoin is a dinosaur, its death will allow better platforms to flourish and no longer be tanked by bitcoin's short comings.
Evan Bennett
>and other cryptocurrencies Proof of stake.
Isaac Young
Bitcoin's problems are made up and put there purposely, see
bitcoin was supposed to be the solution for microtransactions. but the average fee you have to pay to get a transaction through is $1.31. Gee, I love paying more than a dollar for the privilege of being able to send 25 cents anonymously to someone on the other side of the world.

Ayden Martin
meh, i'm not buying into the hype, but i did buy a few thousand dollars worth after mtgox went down. i cashed out for $140K. probably won't have that happen again, so it was fun while it lasted.
Owen Sullivan
Would you send 25 cents worth of gold to someone across the world as payment? There are other altcoins less "lustrious" than bitcoin that you can use for change. Send 25 cents of doge instead.
Ian Cox
give it another year and bitcoin will be at 100 terawatts, and then the year after it will be exponentially higher. ten years out, 50 years out. not looking good.
Jack Wood
Even without thorium we could massively reduce waste generation and increase the available fuel supply by reprocessing spent fuel rods instead of just letting them sit around being useless lumps of metal at the bottom of a storage pool.
Christopher Rivera
yeah, it is. are you such a dumb nigger that you can't see why that's a problem?
Jacob Robinson
>technology never improves >what are ASICs
Xavier Moore
Wouldn't it be some shit if what kicks off our civilization creating a dyson sphere is bitcoin mining.
Jordan Campbell
yeah? they're currently being used by miners and they're using up that much energy, so what's your point? do you really think quantum computers are just over the horizon?
Thomas Williams
bitcoin and all crypto currencies are made by NWO kikes they want a cashless society, a non physical currency would be their wet dream
Julian Flores
My favorite cryptocurrency is runescape gold.
Dominic Mitchell
I don't see how quantum computing would solve the issue. At any rate, reducing power consumption is what we've always done. You do realize the reason your phone last all day isn't because the battery right (well maybe partially). Its most entirely through gained efficiencies.
Actually Runescape Gold Cash is the real Runscape Gold.
Justin Torres
WHAT IS THE WHITE MAN'S CRYPTO CURRENCY & EXCHANGE AND WHY IS IT $DOGE & BITTREX.COM?
Dude the federal reserve is a private bank ran by kikes for profit that doesn't even go back into the government spending on infrastructure or anything. Are you retarded?
Hudson Jenkins
that's why russians and chinese love buttcoins, their governments/militaries can farm them basically for free while retarded westerners are seeing their electricity bills shoot up because electricity isn't dirt-cheap for them.
Evan Martin
(((They))) are trying to shut it down with muh global warming.
Camden Howard
i dont care what you just said the fact still stands that crypto currency is literally in the NWO agenda non physical currency easier to track and manipulate and put interest on it when it doesnt even cost anything to make, etc.
Nicholas King
The power consumption of bitcoin is the stupidest non news thing to come along in awhile. Power in the us isnt socialist, if you are using more power you are paying more for it. Nobody cares. This isnt a green issue, say like cars, where if you buy a gas car, that is another car on the road for 20 years that can only burn gas. Power plants are not consumer determined and bitcoin power is no more of a “problem” than your clothes dryer
Kevin Ramirez
i'm not sure how you increase efficiency fast enough to keep up with the growth slash increases in difficulty. if we were able to keep up, then wouldn't we already be seeing a downward trend in energy usage? i don't see anything magically happening anytime soon that is going to make the upward-pointing energy-usage graph suddenly become downward-pointing.
Adam Ross
i guess you missed the part where a single bitcoin transaction uses up as much energy as a house does for a month.
that's not non-news, and you're stupid for saying that it is.
Alexander Peterson
You're a dumb goy if you think bitcoin is any different than a credit card or debit card from a cashless currency point of view. The real threat is microchip implants you fucking fraud. Bitcoin is explicit-ally anti-kike. Debate me, you won't win.
Carter Taylor
>what is economies of scale
Shits only a decade old (not even).
Aaron Rodriguez
I never once said it isnt bad today yes we live in a mostly cashless society at this point but if you think going to a non physical cashless society is better than you must be like brain dead or some shit
Anthony Garcia
idk man, you might be right, or you might not.i guess we'll find out in a few years. i do hope you're right, btw.
Thomas Richardson
>Debate me, you won't win.
there's no doubt about that. you can never win against an idiot who keeps coming at you like a dumb truck.
Jaxson Cruz
Modern banking also handles millions of transactions PER SECOND faggatron.
Eli Hernandez
First of all bitcoin is attached to any currency in the world, you can sell your bitcoin for Yen or Dollars so it's not like bitcoin is just a bunch of decimals on your computer screen. Second of all fractional reserve banking on inflationary never ending debt is pure insanity. If you support the federal reserve you should unironically kill yourself.
Jack Parker
that pic killed me LOOLLLL
Ryan Rivera
>brain dead or some shit >an idiot who keeps coming at you like a dumb truck. Wow nice rebuttal dude, glad we have concluded who is the better at arguments for the audience ITT.
I dont support the federal reserve because its run by kikes I dont support crytpo currencies because its run by kikes you get it now?
Brandon Torres
Not really considering you could go make a crypto currency right now and start today on your own alt coin independent of any jewish bankers like many blockchain founders have done. You probably can't even name 25 alt coins. Don't discuss things you have no knowledge of in a perspective of giving advice.
Liam Reyes
sorry dude but if you are pro non physical currency you are pro NWO and thats a fact its not that hard to understand
Only took ~50 some years since immigration act, where a bunch of commies/jews convinced the people "it won't affect the demographics" and other such nonsense, and now they are openly stating it isn't and never was a white english speaking nation; in fact, it was blacks who made this country great, everything is cotton!!! Everything a liberal says is either an emotional trick or a lie, guaranteed. It's pretty nice to be able to do or think exactly the opposite of whatever they say and be right.
Isaac Foster
Okay claim proof on how crypto currency is "pro NWO"
And offer your solution or alternative to "pro NWO" monetary exchange. Bitcoin is the least kiked method of trade and you know it and your mother knows it too. If bitcoin was "Pro NWO" then the mainstream media wouldn't be hounding it so hard like they always have. If kikes wanted you to buy bitcoin then Fox news would be shilling that shit with CNN every night.
