Dollar for dollar, crafting cryptocurrency sucks up 'more energy' than mining gold, copper, etc

Re: Proof of work vs. Proof of stake ..

A colleague admitted to me yesterday that she'd joined one of those Bitcoin savings schemes. She's "invested" about £150. She stopped when the mainstream media stopped hyping the shitcoin sandwich quite so much...

She doesn't even know how to sell the Bitcoin she's got. I'm sure I'll end up having to sort it for her - although I wonder if it was just a pure scam and she doesn't own any anyway.

She assumes she's lost money, but doesn't even know what value she bought at.

My sympathy will be distinctly limited I think.
