I strongly feel like you're ignoring all the entirely virtual value being generated here! Snark aside - what's the carbon footprint of HFT? (I want to know because I suspect it's a lot less and wouldn't THAT be a sobering lesson for those utopian devs)

ha--I have no idea. probably less than crypto mining, but definitely possibly a lot. depends how they're doing the modeling I guess also of interest: the carbon footprint of netflix (both gross and net--expect it keeps a lot of people off the road in the evening)

Yeah I just want to have the numbers to rub in their smug blockchain faces. And sure, it'll still be a lot, but they build on existing markets and infrastructure, something that the… financial constructivist purposefully avoid.

Because it's v. difficult on a global scale, requiring tons of coordination to prevent a race to the bottom / tragedy of the commons between nations? Not that banning bitcoin is easy, exactly, ofc, but maybe easier than solving an international negative externality market failure
