The idea that Bitcoin is environmentally a net negative - has been thoroughly debunked. Bitcoin mining is being done using emissions from volcanoes in a few Central and South American countries, as just one example. Mastercard, Visa, Amex, PayPal, Venmo-tracking all those transactions - has one helluva carbon footprint - and it's never talked about...

The decentralization of BTC along with it's fixed number may be the only way to save us from the totalitarian global banking cabal who want to track - and prevent - all our freedoms.

There's a whole psychological class of people for whom their biggest fantasy is to be able to:

* Create their own currency

* Attribute value to it

* Increase and realise that value through hype

For me, this is what condemns most crypto projects. Haydn Wilks brutal and somewhat OTT novel "$hitcoin" is a fun read on this.

Still, might buy a few Tagcoin, cos you never know!
