A major tech CEO just dropped an interesting take: Bitcoin essentially converts wasted energy into a brand-new currency format. Pretty wild perspective on how crypto mining transforms surplus power that would otherwise go unused.

This logic sounds good, but the question is... are there really that many "wasted" energies? Or is mining itself just creating waste...

This logic sounds appealing at first glance, but how many mining farms can actually make good use of the wasted electricity? Most are probably just burning real money on electricity costs...

Hmm, this perspective is pretty good, but I think we also need to consider the costs of mine site selection. Not all waste energy can be utilized efficiently, right?

Ha, this logic sounds pretty reasonable, but can the blame for wasting energy really be so easily dismissed...
