There’s a legitimate chance that Satoshi Nakamoto will go down in history as the vanishing psychopath who created a power hungry crypto, big-gulping electricity with abandon, and without a single fragment of environmental muster.
I started today with the intention of writing a positive article about bitcoin. But it’s tough to put a loving spin on a cryptocurrency that could one day consume more innocent lives than Hitler during the second world war.
Layman’s Terms
It’s well known that Bitcoin’s POW (proof of work) block reward invention systematically uses millions of computers to do the work required by a single machine, and all because of one man’s dream to conquer the planet’s monetary system. If left unchecked, it’s now estimated that bitcoin mining will be responsible for 60% of the earth’s power consumption.
I weep while typing upon these old computer keys thinking of our sweet daughter struggling in a future without the luxury of electrical power. Of course, Nakamoto might have the “last laugh” as he watches the chaos, and all those poor souls mining away, driven to madness by greed, not for a moment realizing that unless they win a block all of their power consumption was for naught.
The truth be told – I don’t write these words of warning. I’m simply a vessel open to the great absolute, allowing its cosmic vibration to flow through my fingertips.
These words are simply not written by me, they spill spontaneously from the vastness of space, coming from the great void existing before my body’s birth. I’m a reader just like you, absorbing these words now for the first time.
Thank God there are alternatives, an altcoin community chocked full of next generation developers creating solutions to Satoshi Nakamoto’s POW-er wasting beast.
If you’re reading this story, I encourage you to check out these green innovations, to turn away from the dark side, and walk proudly with the alternative white knights lighting the pathway of the future.
