It's damn near the single stupidest fucking enterprise humanity has ever engaged in, esp. now that climate change threatens the entirety of humanity, and we KNOW that is happening through burning fossil fuels.

The only clearly dumber thing humanity has ever done is the build-up of nuclear weapon stockpiles.

Producing crypto currency should absolutely be criminalized IMHO.
