I mean, that quote is truer for any regular currency than it is for shitcoin. The only unique thing about cryptocurrency (and especially POW ones) is that it’s flushing the environment down the drain even quicker than bog standard hypercapitalism. And still you can’t use your fucking monopoly money to buy a bottled water.

Not “especially”, but “specifically” POW. I don’t agree about their worthlessness, but even if I did, it’s POW that’s shitting on the environment, not other systems.

You say that with such certainty, as if proof of stake schemes won’t simply be a greenwashing alibi for accelerating validation of currencies using them, to the point of the same carbon footprint as POW.
You’re simply wrong to say that POS is without environmental impact, even Ethereum’s carbon reductions were only that (and not nearly as high as they claimed).
