News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Did you ever wonder why people spent energy for Bitcoin instead of selling it to consumers and industries? It would clearly be more profitable right? You will be surprised to learn that they do when possible. They only mine Bitcoin when it's the most profitable use of energy, which never happens unless Bitcoin is actually the only available option. People mine with energy they can't sell or store for technical reasons. Whether that's because there is not enough demand for it (Africa) or the facility is not connected to the grid. That means people mine Bitcoin with energy that would have been wasted otherwise. That's neutral for climate
Of all the wild, unsupported, and desperate claims, this is definitely one of them.
That's not how energy production works, that's not how supply/demand works, that's not even how the economics works
That's literally supply and demand. You are denying the undeniable. Review your axioms
Edit: Or you can try justifying your claims but you will fail. You can maybe point out the simplifications that I made, considering something is true when it's true more than 95% of the time
