I think it’s a classic example of myopically focusing on some aspects of a technology while missing the entire point.

You’ll hear about net benefits to society (like those are easy to measure), about power consumption (like all if a sudden everyone is an arbiter of the market and decided: too much power), about how it’s a ponzi scheme (without understanding what a ponzi scheme is). All talking point of the anti-cryptocurrency agenda.

Curious to see how/if this changes in the next 5-10 years.
