I find the 'Bitcoin-energy-usage-equals-X-country' argument pretty tiring.
If you can't be bothered to put any effort into actually thinking about the issue, better to just stay out of the debate. People do care about the issue and it's offensive if you can muster just enough energy to tell them they're wrong but not bother to do any of the thinking to explain why.
Who's telling anyone they're wrong? It's just my opinion, which I foolishly shared... Honestly, it's a sub thread on a bike forum. I just wanted to post some interesting stuff I'd read about magic internet money...
