So we are the Romans of crypto, doing cool experiments? And it won't take off until the equivalent of worldwide deforestation and peasants freezing in the wintertime?
- jamiek88 4y agoNo because crypto is a useless scam on the whole. The exact opposite of an Industrial Revolution. Actually it’s more of a virus or a parasite upon our industrial society. Adds no value, consumes gigawatts.
- MilStdJunkie 4y agoMy sort-of-joking-conspiracy-theory is that "Satoshi Nakamoto" was a clandestine sentient AI who invented cryptocurrency as a way to incentivise the hairless monkeys networking together as much processing power as possible.
- ben_w 4y agoDepends. Cryptocurrencies are (or at least the famous one is) deliberately inefficient. Most of the times I've brought this up or seen someone else bring it up, a bitcoin fan insists this is a selling point. If so, it's only going to get worse unless it's banned. OTOH if you meant cryptography, then quite possibly yes.
