I am old enough to remember when #Bitcoin was supposed to be :
▶️ Electronic cash (!)
▶️ Decentralized (!!)
▶️ A replacement for fiat (!)
▶️ Worth $ 1 million (!!)
▶️ Hedge against inflation (😂)
▶️ A storage of energy (!!!)

Here are some links I have gathered along my journey against the crypto madness :

This includes articles (academic and non academic) on environmental footprint of crypto mining. It also covers some security flaws and hacks.

BTW, as an #introduction, I am Franck Leroy, a french engineer hidden behind a fake account to protect myself from crypto bros.

I work in the field of energy and environmental impact assessment.

I denounce the crazy environmental impact of crypto-currencies.

I publish my analysis on the blog "crypto lucid":

#Bitcoin #crypto #proofofwaste "mining" is absolutely 💯 UNNECESSARY to reducing emissions.

Suggesting *anything else* is wishful thinking at best, to, at worst, knowingly shilling a ponzi at the expense of all life on the planet
