No. Mining bitcoin is so bad for the environment. I had no idea until I started researching.
If this is not humor please explain.
Wow!
Thanks.
So, when computers process data it's called mining?
Obviously computers use electricity.
Is the generation of electricity the source of the carbon emissions you speak of?
Or is it something else?
My husband has a really powerful computer for sim racing and vr gaming. When he's not gaming, it runs bitcoin mining. @HS4S_2 is not wrong about the carbon footprint. It's not good. But it's his hobby. And the mining has paid for the $$$ computer, and is on the way to paying for the $$$ racing rig.
Ok this thread prompted me to look up the value of my Bitcoin.
Considering selling it to buy a boat.
Not joking.
That’s amazing!
My father has put in $2k and is currently sitting at over $7k, he needs new parts for his boat and I told him to sell some of it to finance the parts he needs. His response?
"No it's an investment, would I be able to borrow some money off you if I am short for the new transducer?"

Hey Jordy, can I borrow a few million?
I'm short for a larger red diamond.
Sure I'll just go pick it off the money tree, it's in the field of dreams right next to the pit of despair![]()
No.... but I get scam emails - I would say daily- saying how much I have![]()
