"But Bitcoin is a great way to monetize excess renewables"
No, this was never true. If you make a capital investment in a mining rig, then you want that rig making you money 24hrs, not just when the rest of the grid is not consuming renewables.
You become a baseload leech.
Bitcoin must die.

#ASIC-Mining like #Bitcoin 
should be illegal for being an #EnvoirmentalCrime and creating thousands of tons of 100% avoidable #eWaste.
Because unlike a #Server mining #Monero 
you can't repurpose any Bitcoin rig at all.
Also once the last Bitcoin is mined, it'll basically burst as the bubble it is because #fees for #transactions will be absurdly high.
@asei_sano @aruiz yes and it's just bad!
There's a reason noone but capital-flight and tax-evading oligarchs use it these days...

It is a #BiggerFoolsScam because unlike #Monero , #Bitcoin doesn't have a longterm strategy.
Whereas Monero keeps chugging along on it's #TailEmission rate just fine...
