This interesting! Never thought of it this way. Is there any kind of research showing that electric power to run the servers and hardware (which gets old and must be replaced) has a lower impact than boxes and vhs tapes?
I know. But you can't expect countries and people to be ok with it, just because the USA wants it. In an ideal world there would be no boundaries or wars and we would live in peace. But fact is that I don't like being spied by NSA. And while this may be expected by a government, what pisses really off is the way HN, eff.org and USA-oriented blogs speak about non USA citizens. From their point of view we are either terrorists, non-humans or some kind of evil, deprived of all kind of rights.
From the point of view of democracy the USA is the worse.

IPFS

BigChainDB
