    That’s a good point a lot of the crypto markets influence is still more focused as an investment vehicle for getting more fiat wealth, that’s more reasonable to me. I guess I am just a die hard engineer and the practical uses matters a lot more than the price of tulips.

      I mean honestly you’re right. Nobody should be left on the Bitcoin side from an environmental or a cost standpoint. But I have no idea how long it’s going to take to catch up.

      I will say that at some point if there is an awakening, bitcoin’s going to crash so f****** hard. And the first ones out are going to make all the money.
