While I must admit that I am no longer a fan of crypto currencies (huge global energy resources waste IMHO)
And what analysis are people basing that on?
Please do a Google search with this string: 'crypto currency global energy waste' and you will find various articles. Not to mention that Bitcoin mining is nowadays for the average joe user absolutely not profitable. <https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/btc?HashingPower=40&HashingUnit=TH%2Fs&PowerConsumption=1500&CostPerkWh=0.12&MiningPoolFee=1> Check the prices, for example, for those Bitmain Antminer's and compare that when all began and when mining Bitcoin was profitable. And regarding privacy, I do not like the fact that on a Bitcoin Blockchain Explorer everybody can see your account balance and what transactions you have made. Regards Stefan
