So...if I had a computer with a graphics card, that makes me, well besides a potential zillionaire, maybe even a influencer on social media.
When hunting for and/or investing in pixels is the new normal...
Well, I think we are in deep do doo.
Of course at this point, neither does investing in stocks, even investing in anything you can't eat or helps you get things to eat.
It seems the run-of-the-mill inmates have let the REALLY crazy inmates out, and now THEY are running the asylum.

In the early 17th century it was tulips. In the early 2000's it was sub-prime home mortgages.

While I am not sure of bitcoin is any more wasteful or idiotic than the current implementations of government-backed fiat currency, the artificial demand it is placing on graphics cards is defiantly not good for the long term. I also believe the people getting into it at this point are wasting their time and money. The bitcoin millionaires are already made; those jokers buying $50,000 mining machines may still make their money back at this point, but they are jumping on a collapsing bubble.

How about the fact that the pipeline hackers would have had a hard time getting an untraceable payment without CraptoCurrency.

Just wait until all printed/minted money goes away and it all goes digital. Then the real fun begins... i wanted that for yesterday......cash sucks.....we had plastic for decades and now we have direct money transfers, and wireless or proximitys scan......everything should be on card chips, and its acessibility should be easy as recharge card phones used to be. no more paper ! banks already control the economy stop worrying about stupid #%&*$#.

It would also be a huge cost savings for national governments since they won't need those huge printing/minting facilities anymore.
