We as a society deem it a fair use of energy to have dryers, and christamas lights all year long, which use more energy that a decentralized monetary system that brings sovereign banking to the masses. Before letting this story and all the other propaganda make you angry (intended) actually look what bitcoin IS, how it works, and what problems it solves in the world. A comparison that always comes to mind is like someone saying that the internet is a big waste of energy.

Saying it's a waste is like putting a moral qualifier on the use of energy - and for the purpose and affect that this decentralized monetary system can have on the world is definitely worth it in my eyes. People dont make a fuss about using 2 clothes dryers and 24/7 christmas lights that use more energy, but hey that's an approved use of energy.
