AugmentedRyan I'll also note that, unaddressed in your various links, is the extremely high cost of heavy-working electronics and their inevitable contribution to e-waste.

AugmentedRyan I would love to be wrong, but thus far I've linked peer reviewed articles, mainstream news sources, & my own *quite long* assembled set of links of research on this topic. You've managed to link a bunch of not-peer-reviewed pro-crypto publications. Anything else?Permalink On twitter.com
