Buttcoin is the future of online butts. Buttcoin is a peer-to-peer butt. Peer-to-peer means that no central authority issues new butts or tracks butts.

A community for hurling ordure at cryptocurrency/blockchain dweebs of all sorts. We are only here for debate as long as it amuses us. Meme stocks are also on topic.

The network currently produces 23.75 kilotons of e-waste per year, comparable to the entire Netherlands, and every bitcoin transaction uses enough water to fill a swimming pool.

I’ve known for a while how utterly wasteful bitcoin is, but I feel this one in the pit of my stomach. can you imagine wasting a whole swimming pool of water every few minutes gambling? even Vegas casinos, monuments to excess, are a bit less wasteful than that

I keep thinking this too. Imagine knowing this and being responsible for it. Knowing no one uses the bitcoins and if they ever did it would need more water
