"Energy isn't "wasted" just because you don't understand what it's securing. Bitcoin doesn't consume energy. Bitcoin converts energy into the most incorruptible ledger humanity has ever created. Every joule of electricity spent mining is thermodynamically locked into securing a global monetary network that can't be debased inflated or controlled by geriatric central bankers with a money printer fetish. This is why you can't fake a Bitcoin transaction or create a bitcoin. It's also why it has not been hacked. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2022823001704587763"

"The lie you've been told stops today. You want to know what inflation really is Strip away the economics textbooks the PhD jargon the CNBC smooth-brains explaining "supply chain pressures" like they discovered fire. Inflation is theft. Pure. Surgical. Government. Sanctioned. Theft. It's not rising prices that's the symptom not the disease. Inflation is your government printing currency units faster than you can earn them deliberately diluting every hour you've ever worked into monetary vapor. They're not raising the cost of living. They're lowering the value of your life. See that Milton"
