@dgerard, @itistoday on Bitcoin

To facilitate discussion I’ve linked the 4 comments posted by @itistoday in order below, along with a short summary

#1. “the” - Twitter search for the terms “Bitcoin” and “energy” from Twitter user @taoeffect <Greg Slepak @taoeffect@mstdn.io>, whom we can reasonably assume is @itistoday.

All following Twitter links are by the same Twitter user.

#2. “arguments” - link to tweet,

which links to a post on Lobste.rs,

=> https://lobste.rs/s/selc7k/bitcoin_energy_consumption_index#c_agchk7

along with a screenshot of the post. I encourage anyone to read the replies to @itistoday’s post there, no need to rehash them here.

#3. “why” - link to tweet,

=> https://twitter.com/taoeffect/status/925834168990175232

which is the text

Thank Bitcoin for making its energy usage easy to measure. :D

/#4. “it’s wrong” - link to tweet,

=> https://twitter.com/taoeffect/status/782437242639818752

which is the text

Energy usage is not a valid argument against #Bitcoin’s PoW, but it is a valid argument for switching to clean energy sources.

Note that links 2,3 and 4 are included in link 1, along with some other tweets that can be characterized as quips.
