    I really really really doubt those claims. I would need sources to believe that and also the blockchain itself is not a bad idea. Theres also like a thousand different implementations of it. Its like saying every form of currencies are bad.

      What, why would you doubt such obvious claims such as “the blockchain […] weights 60 000 tons”

      I seriously would like to know WTF the poster meant by that

        I thought the context was obvious - in server hardware and infrastructure required to house it.

        Verifying this number thought seems essentially impossible.

        Tons of CO2 released into the atmosphere is a pretty standard way to measure climate impact.

      I mean, the earliest modems I’m aware of were 300 bps, and in 1990 I had a modem that did 9600bps. That right there makes me question more of the claims.
