One thing I love about that article you linked to is that it underscores that everything about these blockchain networks are public. We can compute all of the impact they make because in order to function all transaction costs must be public, which means that things like carbon footprints of transactions can be computed openly and it's impossible to hide what you're actually doing. You can lie about it, but someone is going to catch you in that lie.OH, it's fine to get the response.
The fact that he fell for 'sustainable crypto' shows he's still utterly clueless something that Linda Codega came by to share an article about how the crypto glipner is using still relies on Etherium.
And this one too - you can lie about things selling out and whatnot but everyone can look at the transaction records and see that you're lying.Scam all the way down.
my bet? You’ll see similar things with gripnr

I'm curious whether that Star Trek NFT drop should be considered a failure. The more limited-run group of NFTs did sell out, and at $250 each, and 5000 of them available (and sold), that's $1.25M. It did seem a little surprising (to me, someone who assumes the worst when it comes to crypto grifts) that they didn't make much head way with the less-limited, 15,000 NFT collection. But they still sold 3381 of those, for $845,250.Scam all the way down.

Once I took the deep dive into understanding blockchain technology it astounded me that criminals were using it to do anything at all. Sure the transaction record is "anonymous" in the sense that you don't have to use your real name to use it, but that anonymity is only preserved if you don't do anything stupid to link your account to your true identity. One screw up and anyone can trace everything you bought back to you.It's one of those fascinating dichotomies that we have a technology that both facilitates transparency and openness while also being the go-to choice for anonymity and illegal activities; and that this technology (and associated wallets) is therefore so appealing to people with power yet increasingly seen as problematic for people that can be exploited.
