Since people are still replying to this, let me be clear: Yes, I know how bitcoin works. It's called a joke. Pointing out that I'm wearing a mask and have pronouns in my bio does not make you look cool. If you reply and have "bitcoin" in your bio, my robot will autoblock you.

Bitcoin is not anything like Christmas lights. You can’t just turn it off. It’s misguided to compare to any existing electronic device/tool.

On the list of easy energy savings wins is surely bluechecks hanging up their clothes to dry. You can start saving the planet today with this small sacrifice.
Bitcoin uses less energy than clothes dryers, yet you don't see all these disingenuous hypocrites talking about how they can Save The Planet™ by simply hanging up their clothes and waiting a bit longer; they wouldn't dare subject themselves to the indignity of mild inconvenience
