crypto-miners use a TON of electrical power, employ almost no people or contribute to Society in any way, in their greedy quest for money ...

Aren’t nearly all bitcoins already mined? Most of the bitcoin transactions are trades of already mined coins, no?

I think they pay for it.

How much electricity does the banking industry consume??

—>employ almost no people

I don’t know of any business that employs people they do not require.

—> or contribute to Society in any way, in their greedy quest for money ...

This is simply a short-sighted opinion that sounds like you parroted Trudeaux…

As I see it currency is a promissory note based upon the exchange of valuable goods and services.

Crypto is a medium of exchange based upon the amount of energy you waste.
