👏

Still loving reading your comments embarrassing these clowns, keep it up

The crypto industry is confusing and changes constantly so you have to spend lots of time researching it, regularly, the more you want to participate. Orrr you could just convince yourself things are black-and-white and crypto is evil, and then you don’t have to feel lazy for ignoring a new technology.

Great comments, I appreciate you in here maturely educating people even when they only throw snark and braindead comebacks at you

There are many PoS blockchains already running NFTs such as Tezos which use 99%+ less energy, though Ethereum is still the biggest which is why I said “once NFTs switch”.

This tweet thread wasted vastly more energy than PoS blockchain NFTs

Once NFTs switch to greener models and gaming consoles/gaming PCs are using more energy than them, how will you justify gaming?

PoS blockchains use negligible amount of energy - vastly less than gaming does.

We also need to stop this E-Sports thing. Can’t people just play games without trying to become some kind of “professional” and get paid for it?

Buying land only gives you a deed in a county office somewhere that says you own the land, what a scam.

Why would a token be allowed to change the exchange’s smart contracts

Damn this senator sounds as silly about gaming as Kotaku does about crypto. Moral panics abound

How would “code that breaks the blockchain” work

How about proof of stake blockchains like Tezos where minting an NFT takes around the same energy as sending 20 tweets?

Here’s some good discussion to help explain NFTs:

Sure but it’s subjective about the value gaming or blockchain tech provides. The point about a “moral imperative to ban this” made me think of the policy-makers who have tried to ban gaming in the past. Some think that gaming overall is a waste of time or even negative - is a negative thing worth causing ANY harm to…

I don’t think that’s feasible without a DAO.

It’ll let distributed groups of strangers collaborate on things with more transparency and without such focused points of failure. Could be creating art, running a charity, running a business venture, etc. There will surely be giant failures too but personally I don’t think that’s any reason to avoid an innovation.

True and that’s a usecase of blockchains. I don’t see how DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations) would be created without them and I think that concept is worth exploring.
