it’s weird, but legal for some reason. Giving back energy to the grid can cost money. Shy of just stacking a bunch of batteries, what could I do with the spare summer sunlight?

        It’s crypto, I’ve made money trading it, I’ve made money mining, I’ve seen the statistics as how much of the transactions are sketchy

            mining isn’t just magically making coins. it’s verifying transactions in return for donations. Knowing most transaction s are sketchy means I’d knowingly be enabling that

                It’s not the coins themselves, obviously. People use crypto in plenty of dodgy ways. Most common crypto scams from the top of my head: rug pulls, nft’s, play-to-earn, crypto exchanges blocking people from withdrawing but allowing transactions into Russia, people buying and selling on the black market.

                I’ve seen all of these happen, and it’s still an issue. I don’t want to be enabling that

                inb4 “nft’s aren’t inherently bad”. It’s not much different from the art industry. lots of laundering and tax avoidance there
