A few days ago I posted about how Mozilla accepting cryptocurrency had created a stir, Mozilla has listened to people's responses and is halting cryptocurrency donations until they review the current state of crypto to see if it is in line with their stance on the climate. They have said they will have an open and transparent process involving this.

people not understanding crypto, mad at crypto.

btc is not the only crypto, yet always the one used as an example for anti-crypto propaganda. and even if it was the only crypto, crypto overall use less electricity than conventional banking.

half the point of crypto is to not use the government/privately controlled banking system. anti-crypto activists getting mad at the wrong people and supporting the rich, because they were told to; by media, owned by the rich. awesome.

people up in arms over things they don't understand is why the world is shit.

Then I more than welcome them to accept greener Cryptos only, which would eliminate all the most popular ones from the equation.

Conventional banking also does much more than just transactions.

The rich are the biggest Cryptos holders, it's capitalism at its worst, unregulated capitalism.

I can only think of Elon Musk maniacally laughing on his coach while he caresses his white cat and prepares another tweet to maipulate crypto price and make thousands of working people loose money. True evil genious
