If software was so regular like construction, we could automate most of it.

Incorrect assumption: miners use energy regardless of the number of transactions going through.

Agreed. Next I want gamers to quit wasting energy too. They should just read books and do something useful with their time.

I would like to make quick (<30 min) transactions of large amounts. I can do that with BTC, but it would be nice to do this with USD. Currently, this involves finding a bank, go during the right time, proper account numbers, etc.

That would be an amazing price entry!

I think people overuse the phrase "Ponzi scheme". You could argue that most stocks are Ponzi schemes. I haven't seen a damn dime from some companies.

Security has a price. As a side, the alt-coins that are purely proof of stake use little energy vs Bitcoin.

> Even the Tether fraud hasn’t stopped the Bitcoin buying frenzy.

OT, but why would Tether impact Bitcoin? They are totally different use cases of crypto.

Remote controlled toy. Not a robot.

> Every time citizens try to spread the truth, they are censored.

You actually mean spread an opinion. I doubt any one citizen would conduct a trial or research; some may actually look at data, but that is rare. These are opinions, most likely biased by a belief.

Most MDs are general physicians and know little about vaccines other than textbook knowledge that is decades old. Why would you trust them over a team of researchers? Especially at this point of the pandemic when we have so much data showing their effectiveness?

Six million is not a huge country. The current lighting network can handle millions of transactions per second.

They are limiting mining of a single coin: Ethereum. Nothing is going to stop mining other coins, which are quite profitable. Also, Ethereum is going through two upcoming events which will change the landscape dramatically. July has EIP-1559 which will reduce ETH mining earnings by 30% and the eventual move to proof of stake in late 2021/early 2022. Both of these events will make other non-ETH coins more profitable.

It is much cheaper nowadays to make ASICs, which I think partially explains the expounding growth in NN chips.
