    How is Bitcoin not green, and how do you make it more green? Serious question, it's a digital currency, how is it creating a carbon footprint?

    Edit: It would help if I RTFM.

    According to the research conducted by Houston-based TGR Datacenters, Bitcoin uses an average of 707 Kilowatt-hours (KWh) of energy per transaction. In a May 13 Tweet, Musk explained that the EV company was “concerned about rapidly increasing use of fossil fuels for Bitcoin mining and transactions”. He also assured that Tesla would not be selling its estimated 38,000 BTC – but would save it for use in transactions once Bitcoin had moved to more environmentally sound mining methods. Bitcoin prices took a 14% plummet following the news.

    Mining takes a ton of electricity.

    It becomes green when the power players meddling in this unregulated market decide they need profits.

    What if all the electricity for Bitcoin mining was attributed to renewable resources and all the electricity for charging teslas came from coal??
    (Stupid carbon offsets logic)

    The bottom 4 go up, go down, and repeat, im sure my sell limits with hit eventually. Im fine holding them since its not a ton of money there. NHI should not be down as much as it is. F, yeah, they are getting screwed with the chip shortage. GME is the biggest $ loss, but not % wise.

    It's SO WEIRD how when liquidity tests are active there are no massive red dildos happening multiple times a day and the price steadily increases... :jerkoff:

    Not to mention their batteries being non-recyclable and taking metric shittons of mined lithium to manufacture. But yes Elon, tell me more about the environment...

    Liquidity test is today only (and one day a couple weeks back, which behaved the same.)

    With GME we ignore the -$30 over the prior four days and hang out with our buddy Jacques Teetz when it ticks up $1.69

    When in doubt, zoom out. When jacking tits, zoom in and ignore total gain/loss.

    Zooming out only shows what has been, that it’s already up a crazy amount, and that I missed a couple big peaks to sell on. It’s more of an indicator the squeeze already happened than it is that one is coming. I’ll just keep it zoomed in on the daily and hope more days are green than red. And wait fir the big green day in my dreams

    Gotta start somewhere. Look at penny-farthing bikes, the first planes, cars, etc.

    Electric vehicles that are 100% "green" will be a thing - but that doesn't just 'happen', you need to evolve to get there.

    Hey, maybe a 25% day like AMC is having will change your attitude. Don’t be so negative o_O

    The $AMC move is actually quite hilarious...
    They SOLD 43 million shares today diluting their shares by 10% and adding that directly to the float...
    and on that news the stock skyrockets...
    Fiscally it makes no sense..
