Serious question, why do we give so much power to these tech firms such as Google, when really the solution is decentralization. We have some solutions for money with bitcoin, but there still doesn’t seem to be a viable alternative with a search engine that is decentralized?

    It’s negated all gains made by renewable energy

    Last time there were research it was driven by 70% of renewable energy. More than most industries.

    It actually increases investment into renewable energy by making it more profitable to produce renewable energy.

      Exactly my point. Wasting renewable resources on cryptomining is a crime against humanity.

        You dont get it.

        Much of the energy used would be thrown away wasted. The mining use that energy that otherwise would just be overproduced and thrown away and convert it into coins, thus making production of renewable energy much more profitable than it would otherwise be and thus accelerating the expansion of renewable energy.

        Thus it is not a crime, it actually helps motivating building more renewable energy.

        Neither you or I cant decide if it is wasting or not. Its simply our opinion.
