    • I still can't believe this but apparently it's true?NBQ00
    • What those numbers correspond to:
      "In under half a year, one artist’s multi-edition NFTs have a footprint of 260 MWh, 160 tonnes of CO2 emissions."

    • 1000000000000000 is also a lot!palimpsest
    • It is what it isgrafician
    • what bugs me out a little is that designers like gmunk, who pushes shamanism and psychadelic drugs, shamelessly post pictures of nature and say how beautifulneverscared
    • the planet is, and then pull out their nft hustle.. isn´t that hypocrisy at its best?neverscared
    • Financial profit trumps everything. It's a game changer.palimpsest
    • Gmunk is now spamming his twitter with NFT‘s. He just sold some video for $20K.NBQ00
    • well, not really, the wildfires will trump everything espeically newly accomplished richness in californianeverscared
    • We should all go and hug a tree, say we are sorry, delete our NFTs and put or Apple toys away. Then stick to mud sculptures and drawing in sand with twigs.shapesalad

    • the trick is not that it uses PoW the trick is basically it's a scam, new users need to put money in so that the older users cash outgrafician
    • THEN it's the pow and no, poS not solving anything as that reduces security of the blockchaingrafician
    • also if they are waiting for pos, there are already PoS blockchains, nobody uses those, it's just a pretext to delaygrafician
    • and no, there will not be an incentive to not use NFTs or crypto in the West, as all the dirty mining and energy loss is in the East mostly Chinagrafician
    • remember last time we said "ah it's something far away in Chyna, it won't affect us" it was 1 year ago and it was a global pandemicgrafician
    • Ok, I am convinced not to go into NFTs.SimonFFM
    • Grafician, same was said when Bitcoin was $10 then $100, then $1000 and so on.NBQ00
    • Stop making artists feel guilty!Gnash
    • You guys just don’t understand that some sacrifices must be made for new art to flourishGnash
    • Not everything is gloom and doom. Plant some basil and you're good. Art finds a way.palimpsest
    • Besides, is climate change really man-made? I’m not so sure anymoreGnash
    • Gnash has a point. We've created a toxic society were people are afraid of everybody's judgment. Why is it to hard to say "Bitch, I wanna get paid!"?palimpsest
    • @Gnash Do we even exist?milfhunter
    • that's the spirit, milfGnash
    • Gnash getting more converts, preaching the good word!palimpsest
    • Is man not part of nature? Is a brick house more artificial than a robin's nest? The current state of nature is the work of nature itself.palimpsest

    • (i've already planted the basil)Gnash

    • @NBQ00
      What's not cool was being a little bitch about it. Get over it!

    • isn‘t this rather a sign that global capitalism is putting value in art? if the free market shows the way, it means we are putting energy in artistic creations.uan
    • I am surprised there isn't more outcry for the energy/heat crypto/nft's produce. At least with other products, they bring some value to the world.formed
    • crypto/nft's, not so much, purely based on speculation without anything tangible (well, beyond the energy suck).formed
    • " it means we are putting energy in artistic creations."
      Literally. ; )
