    You’ve clearly missed the point. Again.

    The TenX card will automatically convert the crypto into local fiat, so I can run down to the local Tesco and buy a washing machine after some chicken wings at KFC.

    Cool story bro.

    And by the time you’ve got back home with your washing machine and chicken wings the highly volatile crypto you converted could’ve made your purchase look really dumb.

    Seeing how the TenX card will cash back the card holder .1% and the token holders .5%, it would seem "really dumb" to spend money any other way.

    And I hope that you’re not hungry or in need of laundry being done now since, you know, that TenX card you’re planning on using doesn’t actually work fully yet.

    You're right it is in the beta stage, though cards are being issued now, and there are some serious and very smart people on the project.

    Sure the Bitcoin is a bubble; a bubble of new opportunities ready to burst.

    Maybe government will try to stop it, but it sure ain't looking like that will be the case.

    The governments and banksters will be forced to get onboard and start behaving honestly.

    So anyway now that the posts have been shifted again, can you see how what you’ve posted actually supports the point that was made earlier that you called me ignorant over?

    Apparently some projections say bitcoin is going to be using more electricity than the entire WORLD by late 2019.

    That's a major fucking problem for the planet, and if a solution isn't found its a problem for bitcoin's existence.

    Seeing how the specious terrorists and criminals using Bitcoin didn't kill it, they gotta have another truck of phony bullshit for last desperate effort to kill it.

    Fact is the mining is becoming more and more efficient, and the newer mining rigs on the horizon even more so, and as the network improves so will the efficiency.

    There are already blockchain technologies coming on in AU to improve electric distribution efficiency.https://powerledger.io/#cd-timeline

    You're the one missing the point, bonehead.
    I can now book flights, hotels, AirB&B, eat Subway, buy cars, houses, condos, ect ect. just using Bitcoin.
    Tools like TenX and the others who will follow will just make it easier to spend crypto.

    Thinking of Bitcoin as overvalued fiat bubbles or Beanie Babies is absolutely ignorant, and you prove this with every post you make.

    Ok I read it. The main point of that article is that electricity output will rise to match every rise in bitcoin prices (and fall as bitcoin prices fall).

    So if you believe that bitcoin prices will rise exponentially (which I know Earl does and I'm fairly certain you do as well), then what I said about energy costs is completely spot on. You posted an article that proves my point, and basically does so unambiguously.

    The article ends with this

    All of which means that Bitcoin's power-hungry ways are unlikely to change any time soon.
    My question, and I'm being completely serious: Did you read your own article?

    The markets are going crazy again today, some on my stuff has literally doubled over night eg XEM. LTC up 50% etc etc. This is lalaland stuff.

    I'm going to be riding this bull, sell the highs buy the dips, and hopefully clowns like headazed and buttplug will come charging in to save me from getting gored when the bull run comes to an end.

    And last night I finally picked up free bitcoin cash that appeared out of thin air over $8000 worth. I will be looking up how to do it for another $1500 or so at current prices for my bitcoin gold. Money doesn't grow on trees, but it certainly does on the block chain.

    Surely you understand the difference between global electric consumption and the electric consumption of Denmark!

    And of course bear in mind the rapid technology advances in efficiency...
    And of course how much of Bitcoin blockchain technologies will eventually render utterly wasteful much of current government and banking.
    Blockchain is all about efficiency, government just the opposite.
    Fuck the government!

    Another cool story.

    Denmark today the world tomorrow. Its not like its hard to understand the concept. Higher prices = more money to be made from the same amount of BC = more miners having a go = more equipment = more electricity being used.

    Clearly its not about energy efficiency.

    This is your response to a potential environmental catastrophe. Ok.

    "Cool story bro" really does just sum up a lot of your posts on this whole thing.

    Let's be honest, its the same answer for him as it is for everyone: None.

    I'd be very curious to see some numbers on this though. My hunch is most of the places taking BC are just doing it as a hip marketing gimmick.

    Irrelevant...
    My use of crypto hasn't anything to do which all the things you can do, the inherent global versatility, and the simple fact that this is a nascent technology which far from being universally accepted.
    We are still at the stage where idiots like Paul Krugman were comparing the internet to a fax machine.

    Would you like to know how many pimples I have on my ass as well!
    Now that might be relevant!

    Funny that in the end you're just another dollar chaser. At least cut the bullshit and be honest about it. Nothing wrong with giving this a go to make some quick money, hell everyone else is doing it. You actually jumped on the train early. Be proud of it, nothing wrong about it
