    Bitcoin’s outlandish energy waste is the point, and it’s the point of a whole category of cryptocurrency that dominates the market charts.

    If you’re trying to convince people not to be distrustful of cryptocurrency, don’t downplay what’s actually being used. Otherwise, they’ll be (rightfully) distrustful of you too.

      That’s not my point, I haven’t tried to convince anyone to trust anything nor have I minimized anything. I don’t know if you’re a troll or just want to argue in bad faith, but I’m out.

        Bitcoin ≠ Cryptocurrencies

        You minimized it, intentionally or not. If this was unintentional on your part, you can always edit your comment to point out:

        • Bitcoin is the biggest cryptocurrency by far, and
        • Energy-wasting (POW) cryptocurrency makes up the majority of all cryptocurrency
