4. Crypto needs to die, IOW be unilaterally declared illegal and worthless by all the world's governments

The idea that flagrantly wasting valuable (in most cases, finite) resources (i.e. non-entropic ENERGY) produces something inherently "of value" is FUCKING PREPOSTEROUS and OFFENSIVE. It's literally like paying someone cash for burning their house down.

It may well be the single stupidest fucking idea that humans have ever come up with (esp. at this point in time when we know what's happening to the climate), and anybody that invests in it? Frankly I don't care if they lose all their money.

No offense to any DUer's with said investments, but suffice to say, I wish you would get your money out of it. The entire idea behind it is WRONG and EVIL.

On Edit: I also think MINING crypto should be a felony, just like counterfeiting is.
