it all seems very convenient that everyone is promoting the PoS coins now which essentially requires you store on exchanges to reap the benefits

not wanting to be a conspiracist but...


Algo has a wallet you can use and earn rewards outside of exchanges. you have to transact to compound the rewards. But you can have a 0 transaction to yourself for the cost of .001. Or alternativly use the algo faucet to compound for free daily

Algo is definitely the cheapest i have seen to move and it's seconds to transfer.

Not everything that you disagree with is fud.

The response from Elon literally says a PE firm bought a nat gas power plant to mine bitcoin. The plant is now converting fossil fuel into electricity to mine btc. Before btc, it wasn't. What is fud about it?

Conversely, FUD doesn't have to be false. Making a mountain out of a molehill would be FUD, too.

Don't for about all the mining in China and the large % of BTC china owns.

as long as he's building cars and rocketships with coal he's being a complete fricking hypocrite

I'm sure you're smart enough to realize that but who knows

at the end of the day. I'm all about a greener grid but Elon is approaching this in a very odd way.

why invest $1.5B into something you think is "dirty" just four months later?

maybe he should have a policy to only sell cars to people who can power them via renewables only. Wonder how many he would be able to sell.....

I agree.

I honestly chuckled when I saw he bought BTC. I figured environmentalist would get to him at some point.


I'm honestly not sure what he's doing.

I mean Tesla also manufactures and sells solar panel roof tiles and powerwall battery systems to charge the cars....in case you were not aware.

And if the government forced all electric cars to be powered only by renewables I'm sure Elon would be very happy with that but it is still, as of now, a somewhat free market.

Are you not grasping the concept he applied to BTC here?

Eth is currently proof of work...so that's a no go too.

BTW, they've been saying Eth 2.0 is coming for years now so...
