    Making fake money by burning real hydrocarbons is a loud business, Maureen. So loud I can’t hear you complaining over the noise of all this binary industry.

      What?!! I can’t hear you. Just think of all the lives we’ll save with this waste heat the next time a winter storm overwhelms the power grid!

        If the power grid is overwhelmed, they won’t be producing any more heat

      As long as people accept the money and it can be converted into money that people accept, is it really any more fake than any other money?

        Years ago I would’ve argued real money is backed by something like gold, but here we are now, basing most currency globally off the USD which is just fiat money. So yeah, there really isn’t anything making USD more legitimate than Bitcoin as long as humans are associating value to it.

    Rock and roll ain’t noise pollution, but this certainly is.
