No, because one transaction uses as much energy as a normal household in a year. Or something like that.

Initial distribution was through a captcha-protected crypto ‘faucet’. The faucet is still up. Did the developers keep a large part of the coins themselves? I’ve never heard that.

No, because I’m not a trader. It’s not all about the exchange rate for me, but about the utility of the coin.

Most coins exist because other coins exist. Nano and Monero not necessarily.

I only like two cryptocurrencies.

Nano: free transactions, each wallet runs it’s own blockchain, so it’s got no negative impact on the environment.

Monero: allows for anonymous transfers

Right. But if things do start to cost money, should that be stopped by laws?

I just want to say that you’re absolutely wonderful with words!

Believing we’re living in the end of times is nothing new. Up til now, it never turned out true.

No stats at all, I just got that impression. It’s silly, but it’s often argued that social media are private platforms, that can decide themselves what content they allow. Do you suggest laws against shadowbanning should be a thing? I’m not sure that’s a good idea.

It seems to me that’s it’s often the conspiracy-theorists that get shadowbanned.

But how is that a consequence of shadowbanning?

Could you name an example of those consequences?
