Banks do that as well on a much larger scale.

Is that why banks use 2% of the US power supply? Oh wait that is shit coins

Am I going to get an answer? Or ya afraid?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This was a question to you...

@GregorTacTac @n3m37h a regular bank has about 1000 branches in a single country to feed energy to.

Not even counting the central servers that process transactions.

So what point are you trying to make?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

@GregorTacTac energy consumption is not the reason for the monero adoption dilemma. The corporatist propaganda is.

You should know that since it obviously uses more than your shit coins.... Right?

How do you know that it "obviously" uses more? You're making up stuff at this point.

Im not defending crypto, you are. The burden if proof is on you

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm not defending banks. You are. The burden of proof is on both of us.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Did I? Just because I don't like crypto doesn't mean I think banks are any better.

If you're going to argue for something you should know the facts.

So go do your research

So what happens to that power bill when say 4 billion people start using it?

Did they really forget about scale?

~~Y'all are a fuckton dumber than I previously thought. LMFAO~~

Sorry but if y'all want to convince more people, this is the shit y'all need to figure out

@n3m37h @GregorTacTac number of transactions is largely unrelated to number of miners
