      I've moved bitcoin and blockchain to my ignore column.

      Why? Blockchain is very much distributed FP with persistent immutable data. You can ignore the valuations but the tech is a fascinating example of what FP can look like at scale.

      What's the deal with supercomputers burning away energy more than entire Ireland to produce bitcoins? Or should I view blockchain separately from this?

      Definitely. Not all BCs use proof of work. Also a large part of mining is being done in places where they are essentially using excess energy from renewables (mostly hydro).

          The two really are orthogonal. But I have also been concerned about the profligacy of mining. There are options in energy production but more importantly IMHO in the algorithms. Here is a deeper dive.https://blog.acolyer.org/2017/09/06/rem-resource-efficient-mining-for-blockchains/ …

          Thank you. For now I'll keep it in my ignore column. Have to focus my limited energy. Like Twitter, it's probably a "stupid idea" that turns out very useful and before you know it, I'm addicted to Blockchain.

          I understand the need to focus but I’m convinced that the blockchain will define the next generation of all software e.g. see IPFS
