Can I go on a bit of a power rant here, Dave?
I really wish the people who’ve been down on Podcasting 2.0 because an aspect of it is associated with Bitcoin, would spend just a few moments disentangling themselves from the mainstream propaganda.
Sure, Bitcoin uses energy to secure itself. It’s actually quite a bit of energy. But, so doesn’t the US Dollar (USD). Bitcoin is based on a Proof or Work (PoW) model, which is the very reason you can trust it. If it weren’t, it could be gamed, scammed, inflated, etc. This is why Bitcoin is the world’s first completely sound money. (Closest thing previously was the gold standard.)
The USD is also secured by a PoW mechanism, but more like Proof of War. I wonder how much energy the USA military utilizes? And, how much energy are all the lives that must be expended around the world to keep the value of the USD propped up? That isn’t even getting into how fiat currency (& Keynesian economics) is designed to slowly (ie. 2% inflation) rob all of us, and transfer the wealth out of what we’ve earned to the elite (cf. Cantillion effect).
Yes, Bitcoin uses energy, but that use is well worth it. Not only could we be operating on a sound monetary system, but the impact on nearly everything else money touches would be profound. This includes everything from our food supply to war around globe (as previously mentioned). And, because of how Bitcoin mining works, miners are incentivized to seek out the cheapest sources of energy. Many have been seeking out otherwise wasted sources of energy, or helping balance the grid as renewables come online.
But, what is especially ironic, is how many of the Bitcoin haters, seem to love AI. I was just listening to a podcast the other day, where an infrastructure guy was talking about the big players struggling to grow AI, because existing data centers aren’t equipped to pull in/cool the energy usage AI machines are demanding. Is it worth using energy for AI, but not Bitcoin? How about we just make more energy!
