>They are not consuming other energy sources and to a certain degree, i think this is okay.

Both are using energy, I don't know what the 'other' even r refers to.

>It also combines and supports advantages in science by making this more affordable for the rest.

.. Both of those apply for crypto. Better GPUs are developed because of usage, gaming usage doesn't necessarily give you more than crypto usage and cryptocurrencies are putting a lot of money into cryptography.



I might be a weirdo but playing RDD2 for 85 hours was very entertaining and while i played RDD2, i did not travel or do something else resourceintenvise.

I have not had this amount of return on investment when doing something with bitcoin.

It was more like 'huh? how much is the transaction fee now?', ah why is this market seized? Oh i found a little bit of bitcoin here, i totally forgot.

And while i play 85h over a span of 4 weeks or so, your mining rig already consumed 590h more energy than i did.

I said 'to a certain degree, i think this is okay' and i also think that for bitcoin, this is not the case.
