About this episode
The episode critiques a statement by economist Steve Keen regarding Bitcoin's energy use and its implications.
This might be the dumbest Bitcoin criticism I’ve heard in a long time. An economist (Steve Keen) says Bitcoin will go to zero because it uses too much energy. It only took me ten minutes to break down why this critique makes no sense.Check out BitBox here: http://bitbox.swiss/satstacker Use code SATSTACKER for 5% offValue 4 Value: If you enjoyed this content feel free to zap me some sats via the lightning network: thesatstacker@coinos.io or https://coinos.io/thesatstackerNYKNYC.
