Because android itself is free but I'm not seeing a lot of companies or you taking the time and effort to make an ad free Android phone for the same price or cheaper.
You had a phone with 12? And a smartphone with 14?
Wow crazy.
I bought my first Smartphone with 23.
I'm really really curious how this will and already affects lots of kids who don't have the skill set to learn by themselves how to handle it correctly.
Just because some person said this doesn't make it here suddenly true.
I personally find this anecdote really shitty to be honest. Only a balanced mind and body can sustaine quality over a long time.
Also bad health in old age is super critical for living long and bad. Would never thrive for this like laying in bed having pain every day being dependent
Baseload with Bitcoin would not just be baseload it would be the only load.
If you invest in Bitcoin hardware and get good money from it somewhere in Africa with a slow economy, why would you suddenly not consume all of it?
The only reason would be that the Bitcoin miner is not the same person as who is building the grid and the grid person only gets the same money from you than from others.
But 1. Why would you start building this and not leverage it yourself? If you can't Bitcoin miner still will be able to pay the highest price after all it is not limited by local economy but by the global one which is much richer.
The right answer than would be a Bitcoin tax. But the Bitcoin tax would only motivate both (producer and consumer) to make as much as possible.
Only after Bitcoin consumed all of this cheap unregulated power it will stop
.
So now energy is still not affordable to anyone because they can't afford the inflated Bitcoin price.
You know who has to stir this shit out? Everyone not doing Bitcoin. Like the people in china were it got so bad that Bitcoin miners risked the power stability.
Also of course this doesn't motivate anyone to build up a real sustainable business with local impact like metal smelting, bakery, paper plants etc. They can't pay what a Bitcoin miner pays.
I hate this shortsighted ignorant green washing.
Bitcoin is a virus. It was created out of thin air, consumes tons of energy only to keep its own decentralized integrity for its own integrity sake not adding any value outside of itself.
