Eh?

A pity, bitcoin miner might have kept house warm this winter.

Bitcoin mining?

A currency isn’t really something that can feel threatened though maybe the issuing governments might.

Sure it will. Just imagine something happening and it might make it come true

Well, I suggest it won’t.

How will it work, that stuff isn’t on the blockchain?

More economical in the Winter when can offset heating costs.

Depends how deep the authorities delve, they could see money going into the exchange for example. Would be easier to leave cash TBH.

Bit of a result yesterday! Opened my old Binance account as fancied dabbling in a few coins that aren't on Coinbase. Thought it was empty but lo and behold have balance of ~£1,000 in various coins: -...

Scottish ones aren’t of course, they seem to manage w/o.

Same (+environmental destruction) for gold production.

Greenhouse gases per capita are similar to EU and ~3x that of the US.

Done in China due to country’s cheap renewable energy.

Limited downside but infinite upside!

Another report here (BBC though so you'll probably have to slap yourself again).

I agree, often said that, unlike gold, it has no intrinsic value. Yes, gold has some uses and an intrinsic value but its value is largely due to investment and speculators.

Bitcoin radiators have been marketed, a pity that most heat generated isn’t used for heating or similar.

Might retrace but unless shorted you still wouldn’t want that.

Why would that be welcome?

I realise there is no intrinsic value etc.

If definitions are being rewritten it's by those who consider crypto to be fiat money.

That looks like a Wikipedia definition, others on finance (and indeed crypto) websites state that a fiat currency is issued by a government.

Yes, I'd be interested to know why some now call it a fiat currency.

BTW, from what I can see it's only up maximum of ~4% (if that) today.

Maybe, was referring to bitcoin.

They might be able to handle a thousand transactions per second but confirmation time is measured in minutes if not longer.
