Coiners/cryptoenthusiasts need to give up the ghost on the energy argument--even if you're up to date on the Xinjiang/Sichuan miner migrations, it doesn't change that BTC intrinsically uses a ton of power to generate block reward. Be a realist, y'all just look silly!

Tbh I have come to unironically embrace the ARK position that long-term, cryptocurrencies can be an incentive for more efficient energy storage and use for computing but that in the short term it does all blow and hurts the environment until an adjustment

Maybe, but the majority of power usage is 0 sum, i.e. a unit consumed = another unit produced. All else equal that's going to increase CO2 emissions faster than renewable energy. The amount of truly "stranded" energy resources are fewer than most crypto bulls like to imagine imo
