So you are arguing that all the energy we waste to solve sudokus is small compared to the flights that some bankers do and the oil required to move the armored vehicles with money? Really?
Humanity is capable of performing more than one task at a time. Were you not aware of that fact? Why not?
Please stop making lame excuses and tired rationalizations for destructive antisocial behavior, and insisting that nothing be done about it because it's not the only problem in the world. And please stop shilling cryptocurrencies, pushing get-rich-quick pyramid schemes, and trying to deceive people with ridiculous spurious arguments and lies. Nobody's foolish enough to fall for your argument, and it makes you look extremely unethical and sociopathic.
Yeah, you're right. Governments could do both. It's just that I've never seen a major nation actually punish the banking corporations. Iceland's move was impressive though.
I don't appreciate your gross stereotype but I do understand it. It may suprise you to learn theres a minority of people that actually use bitcoin as a currency. I've used bitcoin for fun since 2011 and as a currency since 2013. I didn't get rich because I'm not an investor. I don't play around with exchanges and other finance stuff. I just pay for my dot com domains, VPS rent, and buy new computer hardware with it on the blockchain. It's fairly currency-like from my end of the elephant. I completely agree what's going on with financial style scams offchain is nasty and pretty much every "cryptocurrency" created since 2015 has been a pre-mine scam of some abstraction or another.
