@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>](https://twitter.com/taoeffect), whom we can reasonably assume is @itistoday.

[@taoeffect <Greg Slepak @taoeffect@mstdn.io>]


All following Twitter links are by the same Twitter user.


\#2. “arguments” - link to tweet,

https://twitter.com/taoeffect/status/913140279573495808

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.
