  • Isn’t it fair to say that literally all cryptocurrencies in the ‘proof of work’ model are extremely not-solar-punk to the extent that they’re kind of the antithesis of solarpunk?

    I say this because under the current model these are hardware systems designed to essentially waste as much energy as possible for no good reason whatsoever

    block chain tech could be useful for tracking the status, qualities, dispositions etc of physical or logistical resources in a democratic, anonymous, and decentralized way WITHOUT the equivalent energy expenditure of burning several hectares of old growth forest per hour, but that’s a far cry from what these shitcoins all do.
