@isomerc IMHO #Bitcoin's only effective use-case is #CapitalFlight and #MoneyLaundering on behalf of #Oligarchs, #Millionaires and #Billionaires that are sanctioned.

It's #ASIC-dependency only results in thousands of tons of 100% avoidable #eWaste at the hand less than a dozen big miners that effevtively control the hashrate.
