A vague path and something to show for it means using a bunch of energy for something they’re not even really doing…?

I mean… yeah. It’s always beneficial for people not to know how much money one has… I can’t really imagine a situation where it wouldn’t be.

That makes sense.

If that’s the case, why don’t they pull the Renaissance artist scam and just take a bunch of money and swear they’re working on stuff? If they don’t have to prove anything, why use any energy at all?

I didn’t say it was a good choice, not sure I made any kind of statement you could nitpick or impose judgement upon me for, and if I did, I edited it out because I predicted you being insufferable. “I think they’re mining bitcoin” is not the exact same statement as “bitcoin is good” or “AI is good.” I don’t actually mind either bitcoin or AI, I think like alcohol they’re fine in moderation, but that’s not what my post is about.

Yeah it’s really noisy and hot when you mine bitcoin and distract everyone by reading their emails, great distraction actually, kudos

As social media? I’m getting old. It used to just be an image hosting site.

Everyone is posting the same image.
