    Man, I remember how back in 2009 we were hyped about this possible chance for a fairer world that a independent currency might bring. Guess we were quite wrong. :)

      The independent currency was still worth standard currency… So the ones already hoarding all of that existing make-believe-number money just bought up and schemed us out of new make-believe-number money.

      How did we not see this coming? :(

      Not gonna claim any foresight.

      But now in 2024. It dose seem rather insane to me. That no one predicted the energy problems of proof of work.

      We were well aware of the co2 cost of computing.
