Ethereum Executes The Merge, Reducing Energy Consumption “by ~99.95%”

[Grimlakin]

Except with crypto the demand is artificial, there is really no need or practical use for it. Not even frivolous use, as you can't make a necklace out of crypto. My problem with crypto is not that someone makes a profit on it, it is the pointless nature of it. They say let your money do the work for you, which is all and well if you invest your money into real companies making real products. The only work crypto does is syphoning away resources into a bottomless pit.

To be fair thst can be said for anyone that does currency exchange for profit.
