"you don’t have to rely on anyone to bring Bitcoin about"
~ bitcoin advocate quote
Bitcoin ultimately equates to energy expenditure/consumption as currency – and very computationally and energetically complex at that. How does Bitcoin not perpetuate hierarchy? People and physical ecosystems are inherently connected and mutually dependent, drawing nourishment from reciprocal and interwoven values (racing to accelerate computers to consume massive complexly generated electricity, is furthest from permaculture as you can get). Is there something I'm missing? Given Bitcoin's acknowledged rapacious energy consumption and its distant association with any specific living context or community on Earth, how is it not antagonistic to livelihoods that eschew unnecessary computer operations as self-determined approach to a more sensible, empowering, and convivial way of life? Is this a lesser of two evils kind of thing?
