There’s nothing to debate. We have fresh 2021 data and then we have your speculation based on 2020 data. Have a nice day!

Exactly. And soon we move to rainy season and Bitcoin will shift to becoming majority renewable for months. Because the cheapest energy will be renewable. And in the coming decades renewables will get cheaper and cheaper and cheaper globally. You do the math.

Do you understand that reopening a coal power plant to mine Bitcoin actively directly worsens climate change but reopening a hydro or solar power plant to mine Bitcoin does fuck-all to fix it

Renewable energy doesn't reverse climate change, at best it just *doesn't add* to it A 100% perfectly renewable Bitcoin mining grid has the exact same impact on humanity's carbon footprint as just not mining Bitcoin at all

Right except our current financial system is based ultimately on the petrodollar, which relies on alliances with brutal dictatorships like Saudi Arabia and aggressive defense of the fossil fuel industry. Bitcoin competes with this.

That's not what "petrodollar" means and that's not how it works The so-called "petrodollar system" depends on the global high demand for oil, it does not cause the high demand for oil

It's not "so-called" it is real, and it depends on petrostates pricing oil exports in dollars. To achieve this, the US has had for decades held an alliance with the dictators of Saudi Arabia and other Gulf tyrants.

And it is caused by the global market for fossil fuels, it does not cause the global market for fossil fuels

Actually, the beneficiaries of this relationship have stymied progress of nuclear power and renewables all over the world. Now we have a chance to shift to a world reserve currency that can run entirely on renewables instead of being linked to the oil industry.

I fucking hate how you people talk about speculative shit about "Who's really responsible for killing the electric car?" as though it is anywhere in the same ballpark as Bitcoin straight up DIRECTLY BURNING AND WASTING ENERGY to the tune of dozens of terawatt-hours per year
