@ademan @Zergling_man @icedquinn @kroner For a cryptocurrency based on a proof-of-work system to even be usable *as a currency* by >1M people, it would need to consume more electricity than the *entire planet* currently does.
But sure, this will *save* lives. Definitely.
(Blah blah proof-of-stake: yes, because a system that *reinforces existing wealth* is bad for people who profit off of fiat :P)
