   From the climate impact alone, I wouldn’t touch Bitcoin with a bargepole .

   “Bitcoin alone is estimated to consume 127 terawatt-hours (TWh) a year — more than many countries, including Norway. In the United States, cryptocurrency activity is estimated to emit from 25 to 50 million tons of CO2 each year, on par with the annual emissions from diesel fuel used by US railroads.”

     @jd I'd like to see a comparison between the energy consumption of Bitcoin and something else, like Netflix or coffee, just to put it in perspective.

     @parker @jd @rjohnston also Bitcoin facilitates actually-useful activity like buying drugs.
