  Since people are still replying to this, let me be clear:
  
  Yes, I know how bitcoin works. It's called a joke.
  
  Pointing out that I'm wearing a mask and have pronouns in my bio does not make you look cool.
  
  If you reply and have "bitcoin" in your bio, my robot will autoblock you.

  Want to save the planet, Save Bitcoin. I can see you've done minimal research into Bitcoins energy consumption. Do some research before spewing bs

  Another great idea would be to simply buying off all available bitcoin from the market and never sell it (or even better, just burn it), so it cannot harm the environment.

  You do realise that to carry out a 51% attack you would need to use more energy and equipment than Bitcoin itself uses?

  we'd have to break it in a way that anyone trying to fix it would have to realize how atrocious it is on the way to the answer

  It honestly feels like an important step towards saving the planet is to either carry out a successful 51% attack against Bitcoin or work some kind of cryptographic flaw into Bitcoin core and break the whole thing that way
