    A fraction of what it takes for thousands of machines to perform rework of the same problem.

    This isn’t the good argument you think it is.

        Damn, if you’d actually watched the video you’d know he spends about 40 minutes covering the issues with crypto as it’s crucial to understanding NFTs.

        Nice try, though.

      Bitcoin miners aren’t doing re work, they mine the next block of thousands of transactions.

      Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
