Just 137 crypto miners use 2.3% of total U.S. power — government now requiring commercial miners to report energy consumption
The U.S government wants to crack down on the ballooning energy consumption of Bitcoin miners.
You're viewing part of a thread.
No, my argument is that it's not really used as a currency, but treated like a stock. Which is true.
Even for the few people who intend to pay using it, the vast majority of places don't accept it.
Now you've learned that at least 500 grocery stores do.
I'll take your word for it, cryptobro. As I've stated, I haven't heard of that retailer.
Have you heard of Microsoft?
Yup. But when I go on their site I don't see any option of paying with crypto. I've tried the Windows/Office sites, as well as the Minecraft site that they obviously own.
Have you heard of AT&T? AMC theaters?
No and no.
You're again assuming I'm from wherever you're from. Almost certainly the US, as when people assume everyone knows about some random thing in their country, it's usually an American.
Ok so I looked it up and apparently AT&T is an ISP. So I looked at mine. BT? No crypto. Virgin Media? No crypto. Sky? No crypto. EE? No crypto. Vodafone? No crypto.
For cinemas, Vue, Odeon, Cineworld all also don't have crypto payments.
Widely accepted indeed lmao
Yes, not literally every company globally accepts cryptocurrency yet, same as other currencies, but thousands of them do.
You're learning!
That's what's important.
*Only a very small fraction of companies support them.
So in other words, you can't use it as your currency day to day, like I've been saying.
And even those who do own it don't use it that way anyway, like I've been saying.
Good boy. You're finally coming around. Maybe one day we'll get you to the point where you can move from velcro shoes to tying your own laces. Baby steps.
Incorrect, but you finally got around to using that straw man you mentioned.
There are thousands of companies who use cryptocurrencies.
People who own cryptocurrencies use it in transactions.
Your argument was that there are not.
So, I guess you've proved yourself wrong again. Surprising that you could do it this many times in a row, but at least you're consistent.
No they don't. They use it like a stock.
You cryptobros are absolutely hilarious. Crypto isn't replacing real money. Sorry to break it to you.
Giggling in my chair right now at how pissy you are about crypto having no real use beyond cryptobro gambling.
Haha, sure you are, just like how digital currency hasn't already replaced cash (it has), I'm sure this next iteration of more secure digital currency totally won't update the last digital currency (it will).
Keep giggling, that sounds about your speed.
