I hadn't realized Lemmy was so anti-bitcoin.

Anyway, bitcoin etf's are a new thing and money is pouring in. Only time will tell, but with all the etf money and the impending halfing, the future looks bright.

Is bitcoin volatile? Undoubtedly.

Buy during the dispair period.

As a former Bitcoin user and fan, I am also anti-Bitcoin. Until they can figure out how to run the network without drawing the energy equivalent of an entire developing country just to check if some numbers are correct in a database, I can't morally justify myself using it any more.

Honestly, if they're actually vegan, then I have a lot of respect for them.

As it stands, I think that its more likely that they're just an annoying, virtue signaling turd.

Bitcoin doesn't need to figure anything out, alternatives that cost essentially 0 energy in comparison already exist on a massive scale.
