Personally I'm a fan of fake certificate that says you paid money for one of the plagiarism machine's works
You mean the Amazon rain forest destroyer machine?
Hate this argument. No one ever discusses Fiat currency's environmental impact.
*Which includes literally, actually destroying the Amazon rainforest.
Whataboutism. Bitcoin does not need to be proof of work. It's horrendously inefficient.
Bitcoin does need to be proof of work. any system without that isn't bitcoin.
Is Ethereum any less Ethereum since moving to PoS? Of course not.
ethereum also has no supply cap. they are different technologies almost entirely.
i would not call PoS bitcoin anything except p.o.s.
there is still a pow blockchain running for ethereum, and there would be for bitcoin, too, and that is the blockchain i would call bitcoin.
They talk about it all the time and the impact is much, much less.
And not all crypto is proof of work, some is proof of stake, which actually isn't too bad environmentally
* fake money
Nahh, NFTs deserve to be their own failure. Cryptobros get two fails for one tech.
That's fair enough, but idk if anyone's purchased an nft with anything but crypto.
That doesn't contradict the fact that crypto is fake money
You should try reading comprehension, because not only did I NOT say crypto is real money, but I specifically said it's a failure from the same tech.
Dude. I didn't claim you called crypto real money. I'm insinuating you misinterpreted the previous comment. Maybe cool down your projector.
it's not fake if people accept it.
So you're saying it's fake?
no, because some people accept it
Fair point
Do you mean Schrodinger's artwork?
