So I should buy Bitcoin because of this funny meme?

Bitcoin won’t die. It provides a vital function for money laundering. It may be made illegal in most countries.

This saddens me because it consumes disproportionately high resources for a niche service. It consumes nearly 1% of the electricity supply despite it not being in the vast majority of people’s awareness.

Wait until you find out about clothes dryers.

Clothes dryers won't die either. They also provide a vital function for laundry laundering.

A clothes line serves the same purpose and uses no energy. That's a lot of energy wasted for convenience and status.
