      https://www.cell.com/joule/fulltext/S2542-4351(18)30177-6 … "In 2018, the best defense against bullshit is no longer truth, but even greater bullshit." I don't want this to be true, but here's a peer reviewed paper implying that the hydroelectric power used to mine Bitcoin could instead power Austria.

      Yes, you're right. The word hydroelectric doesn't show up in the paper. Funny, that. Pretty detailed paper. It's amazing, there are many quite good arguments against Bitcoin. One that assumes a watt is a watt is a watt is, uh, not one of them. Fighting bullshit w/ bullshit?

      To be clear, the power is in China, which of course this guy knows. Those would be some remarkable power lines, all the way to Austria. Power, not actually fungible.

      The thing is, incorrect arguments are going to pop up from time to time. Somebody says, "But what about?", there's a response, it's good, we move on. The "Bitcoin is costing us power" argument is almost entirely specious. It *is* costing wafers/GPUs, engineer time, attention.

      But somehow these trivially provable things pale in comparison to this power junk. Which tells me maybe there's more post-truth happening here. "If it *were* true, we'd have a great argument!"

      I would prefer peer reviewed papers avoid post-truth.

      And before anyone says it, the idea that all economic analysis is post-truth is silly. We have lots of reliable and repeatable stragies for wrecking economies. Been running experiments for centuries!

          Oh there's lots of garbage economic analysis that really comes down to "...and everything would be great if you give me all your money". Funded departments and everything. It is a science though. It makes predictions that are true. Not all of them :)
