Haha Musk told everyone otherwise yesterday, no-coiner!

In any case, you idiots don't seem to get how trivial it is to exchange to fiat at an exchange.

Enjoy being poor, no-coiner. Removed

We learn that Bitcoin consumes huge amounts of energy. And that our energy consumption is trashing the planet.

And we go right ahead with bitcoin without so much a s pause for thought.

As my father would have said - we must need our heads examining.

What is Bitcoin's current hash rate? 171 million EH/s, which stands for exa hashes per second, at the time this article was published. 1 exa hash = 1 quintillion hashes. That means that miners are computing 171 quintillion hashes every second.

You would need to source an awful lot of computers, numbs my mind how dumb you guys are.

You'd think no one because $ and £ and € are all junk worthless currencies controlled by governments who are trying to keep you poor and blah blah blah.

Except the reality is many people, and the nonsense they spout about government control and so on is just the lie they sell to hep make them the gains.

Bitcoins intrinsic value never changes, 1 BTC is worth 1 BTC.

It's the inflationary FIAT currencies that keep fluctuating, they're almost entirely random it seems, from where I'm sitting.
