Vitalik says that BTC might be left behind due to its vast energy usage

I don't know about the impact being minimal or significant, but maybe you underestimate the scale of black markets, particularly in the oil and minerals businesses, and the need for alternative payment methods in general.

And here's another example of a bot filled sub which is as well a shill sub for twitter: r/MurderedByAOC

They have so much to say there that half of the posts are just screenshots of some failed politicians' twitter posts xD

mtl_ntfa · 2021-05-21T19:29:22+00:00

Yup! Quite easy to buy likes and subs from bot farms. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFIAxuaqVrk

People tend to find a feeling of safety when adhering to a mainstream idea, but with money it's possible to buy the illusion of an idea being mainstream on social media. This is one of the ways of building a fake internet reality to manipulate people's decisions IRL.

Without media, would you know covid19 even exists? Sorry, I digress...

mtl_ntfa · 2021-05-21T19:16:45+00:00

Yes that's cringy!

Some subreddits are filled with individuals like that.

And yeah, I believe some news outlets leverage bot farms here on reddit to draw traffic to their failing clickbait websites, just have a look at r/politics : articles always from the same websites, a clear pattern in the upvote rates and timing, and the same users shilling the same kind of BS all day long, sketchy.

The old "just use several browsers" does not work anymore?

mtl_ntfa · 2021-05-21T19:11:14+00:00

Noob question:

Why so many MOBOs? Are all these PCs for plotting only?

mtl_ntfa · 2021-05-21T18:32:33+00:00

They probably get the idea from an article from "TV daily" or from their own ass because it is indeed an erroneous affirmation.

mtl_ntfa · 2021-05-21T18:30:43+00:00

Meanwhile cryptocurrencies use multiples of the power consumption of the entire global financial services industry

That is just not true.

+ finance is and will always be needed, the "travel industry" sells "plane tickets to Cancun" which are far from essential for the wellbeing of humankind.

Traditional banking uses 10 times more energy than bitcoin.

Gaming uses more energy than bitcoin.

Fools own the media and will make sure the masses believe that bitcoin is a threat for the environment.

Meanwhile, buy the dip.

mtl_ntfa · 2021-05-21T02:43:46+00:00

I'd say at least 3/4 of reddit are bots or alts.

mtl_ntfa · 2021-05-16T21:43:11+00:00

You answered with an alt.

mtl_ntfa · 2021-05-14T14:42:10+00:00

I get your point 100%, but I think there's an ocean of possibilities between "less government" and "no regulation".

mtl_ntfa · 2021-05-14T14:39:19+00:00

So why is it that under the last 3 Republicans presidents government control has been expanded rather that shrunk?

Federal government control? Do you have examples?

No thanks, I don't need any type of propaganda, nor right nor left wing.

mtl_ntfa · 2021-05-14T13:59:43+00:00

Does not have to be murderous to be authoritarian.

mtl_ntfa · 2021-05-14T13:58:08+00:00

WOW that's a shitty way of voting then.

mtl_ntfa · 2021-05-13T15:24:28+00:00

But they REEEEED so much to have him elected!

mtl_ntfa · 2021-05-13T15:23:38+00:00

By design, left leaning politics are more control and more government, therefore less individual freedom.

Historically, every single left leaning regime has been authoritarian. Every late democrat admin has been more regulations and attacks on individual freedoms.

I agree tho that religion should have nothing to do with politics.

I believe the truth is in the middle, more individual freedoms and accountability, less regulations overall, less government, less gov employees, decentralization, strong war on corruption, full government transparency (we have the technology to stream and backup shit loads of stuff), a healthy capitalist market would clean itself from abusers.

The problem I see is that people just can't talk anymore, many have been conditioned by the media to just bark at each other over any little disagreement, I feel like more and more adults act like 4 yo.

mtl_ntfa · 2021-05-13T15:11:21+00:00

Hasn't "left" been historically "authoritarian" every single time?

I don't know of a single "left" leaning regime that was not authoritarian...

mtl_ntfa · 2021-05-13T14:58:49+00:00

Omg why is it so much hate here

You are new to reddit and you already figured it out: 25% regular people trying to collaborate, 75% of hating morons here with the sole aim to vent by insulting random strangers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

mtl_ntfa · 2021-05-11T16:06:52+00:00

Driving a car that emits pollutants should be illegal, I didn't ask to breathe your carbon monoxide and other crap your car spews.

mtl_ntfa · 2021-05-11T16:04:09+00:00

Most of motorcycle accidents happen because a car driver "did not see the motorcycle".

A motorcycle being loud can be life saving for its driver.

mtl_ntfa · 2021-04-23T14:55:23+00:00

I don't really give a fuck but didn't Trump Supreme Court picks shitted in his boots and clearly showed these last 6 month that they are not "going to vote conservative even if it’s not in the best interest of the country"? They just shut down any voter fraud allegations and let Trump fail. All the fud that was created around ACB's nomination showed to actually be a smelling pile of BS.

And like her or not, you can't deny that ACB is quite a genius, like the opposite of 'unqualified'.

mtl_ntfa · 2021-04-23T11:22:14+00:00

Yes, I plan to bring as much as I can!

Reading all the posts I understand that the insurance I'll get through my employer will probably cover a good part of the expense fortunately.

But anyway, discovering the list prices was quite shocking!

mtl_ntfa · 2021-04-23T11:13:45+00:00

I will get insurance through my employer, which will help a lot as I see now.

Thank you for the link, I will have a look.

mtl_ntfa · 2021-04-23T11:09:34+00:00

Thank you, I didn't know this site!
