Exactly 14 years ago , Satoshi Nakamoto designed the most pathetic / inefficient system ever invented by humankind : the blockchain.
Today, it weights 60 000 tons, wastes constantly 10 gigawatts .. to process less than 7 transactions per second :
Less than a 33 bps modem from 1990.
This could be joke if it didn't have such gigantic environmental impact, wasn't enabling billion dolllars ransomware industry and was not crushing thousands of lives in the process.
@FranckLeroy And freed people from Bank's mafia and governmental censure.
Saved me actually at some point in life.
@engelbart @FranckLeroy If you think the banks are a mafia and government stops you from doing the things you like, you might want to check if those things aren’t actually illegal. Just saying.
@gimulnautti @FranckLeroy So, you would protect slavery if it was legal, right?
@gimulnautti @FranckLeroy Is it "yes"?
@engelbart @FranckLeroy And you would not ask such questions if you had any concerns about people not thinking you’re very smart, right?
