If Bitcoin mining was done by using solar energy or wind it wouldn't be having that much of a problem with it but it's not being done that way and if they're putting gases like carbon in the air they're not helping the hurting they are hurting our environment. Simple fix of those Wells is to plug them. Burning the natural gas doesn't fix the problem and just adds to it.

Emphasize that the only thing that drives greater (aggregate) energy consumption is the competition.

I think they get the concept of proof of work (POW) a little bit wrong. It's not competing for BTC when you mine BTC in a mining pool, it's working together for the reward which is BTC. The mining pools issue what is called shares or Satoshis which in itself is equivalent to a certain amount of BTC.

Well that's a loose definition of end product (I also believe you're referring to Bitcoin, and not simply "crypto"). But miners are already incentivised to cut costs down in order to maintain their profit margin (Bitcoin revenue per block halves every four years, while costs probably remain constant if not increase). There are mining operations that utilise the heat of their equipment, and Bitcoin mining can more easily utilise renewable energy than most industries. is heavily geared towards . Subsidising environmentally beneficial practises would probably me more effective than tax (due to its mobility, miners would simply flock to the less environmentally friendly countries).

The problem is how we generate our energy (gaz, coal, wind, solar, hydro, etc...), not what we do with it (bitcoin mining). Mining in Texas is the worst idea ever, these miner used to be in China on hydro power, they were kicked out and went to Texas who generated their power with fossil fuel, not to mention texas SUCK at managing their grid ... I think if Bitcoin is able to conserve the wealth we put in it over the wealth that get dissipated in any recession, it's worth it.

Thumbs down👎on this waste of time, if you want to understand bitcoin, proof of work, proof of stake or monetary systems you simply cannot rely on Motherboard or Vice. The last Bitcoin episode was OK because they brought someone knowledgeable enough to speak on the subject, but the hosts just simply don't understand money like most humans on this troubled planet... Keep educating yourselves, this subject will get us out of the rut we currently live in...

It is funny to see that even Motherboard does not understand why BTC protocol is so energy intensive. The issue is the hugely inefficient distributed consensus protocol. In a short, without an artificial delay, aka mining, prime number factorization or math problem solving, there will not be order of adding the block and the chain will start to branch chaotically.

👍 Typical Misinformation Campaign 👍

I know this sounds like it should be somewhat obvious, but couldn't they somehow find a way to recycle all that heat coming off those mining rigs into another form of stored energy? Like using the heat or wind power to turn some sort of turbine that powers generators that in return can help power the mining rigs again. Seems like a massive win-win if someone can utilize that kind of process that I'm talking about.

had to swap thumbnail and title cause the video wasn't getting traction or....?

The people taking part in this video have no clue what they are talking about. Crypto utilizes less electricity on a per transaction basis than it's most comparable example which are credit/debit cards. There is an actual cost to that which is hidden from the consumer and connects to the environmental impact. The scaling issue is specific to Bitcoin and is an entirely technical matter those particular developers have refused to properly address. There are also other innovations when it comes to stability and decentralization which wasn't even brought up in the video. Though this is only in response to the argument implied that there is no useful purpose in the first world when in fact there is. Back to the costs per transaction it costs my business a ton of money every year- enough to buy a new car (and we're a small business) in credit card transaction fees. Using the traditional banking system is like buying a pack of smokes every day. If we actually moved away from it the environmental impact would be substantial in a beneficial way. The reason people don't get it is there are interests at play that get damaged (people invested in government/politics/big banks/etc) spewing fear, uncertainty, and doubt, and a left that doesn't understand it is actually hurting the poorest in our society the most through different forms of taxation (often hidden taxes, not the ones they account for when reporting who pays taxes and who benefits either). If we stop listening to the fear mongering and dishonesty you'd realize just how expensive and environmentally damaging by comparison our traditional financial systems are. Think about how many banks exist in the world and everything that backs those banks up. We don't need to heat, employ, build, or travel to/from the banks, nor print dollars, or setup ATMs, nor run the various banking and merchant processing networks. It's only when you leave out the real costs that credit cards seem to be the better option. The number of transaction Bitcoin does is low- but it doesn't have to be. It's completely artificial and the technology to scale it to where it needs to be already exists. It took credit cards 70 years to see the level of adoption we have today. Crypto is a decade old by comparison. In a world where government went by-by and money printing stopped and banks disappeared and what we had left was crypto we'd all be better off. The printed dollar wouldn't need replaced regularly (they get damaged). Traditional systems have a greater cost on a per transaction basis and no one is comparing it properly. If I sell a US $1500 computer that might have $70 credit card transaction fee. The person who pays is the SENDER for crypto and the cost in Bitcoin is probably under a dollar. BUT other cryptos it would be pennies if not less. That transaction cost is what you need to compare to get an honest understanding of the environmental impact. Crypto actually gets MORE efficient too with more users not less. So stop with the lies that it is worse.

KZread (and Netflix) uses more electricity than bitcoin. Can these people discuss that please?

Ouch, this was hard to watch. People (en masse) hate everything new, this is always true. Also, the fact that we're defining POW in this segment says we're already lost.

The governor knows mining all that Bitcoin is bad for the ecosystem, but he's like: "Who cares, someone has to do it". He wants the cash for the state, smart

I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what decentralized means. In the case of those company's you listed, they are facilitations money transfers, and you are trusting them to do as you ask. In the case of a crypto-currency there is no single person or company that is approving your transfer, you make a requests(send money to this address) and once 51% of the network approves of the transaction it is now part of the ledger. It can't be undone or changed after the fact.

thats why it takes 3 days for ur VISA charge to clear and banks close on the weekends...flintstones...BTC FTW!

Rountable totally biased and have no knowledge of energy or oil and gas industry.

I remember when Bitcoin was just $1 and its acquisition was via the Dark Web. Now with all these coins, Shiba Inu, Tectonic, etc., cryptocurrency is blowing up with different variations of payments and uses. It is a new age indeed.
