   Look, if a core Bitcoin developer can get their whole wallet emptied out unrecoverably on them, and that developer's immediate reflex is to start calling a centralized authority for help, it's time to stop pretending this entire cryptocurrency exercise is ever going to work. We're done here.

     This post is a pretty good one to post this end of the year note about #crypto I reckon too.

     During 2022 Bitcoin consumed 161 TWh of electricity in total, exceeding a country such as Sweden.

     Related CO2 emissions were ~90 Mt; again negating the entire global net savings from EVs.

     Plus, his handle has BitCoin hacker in it so it's really, really hard to be sympathetic to his plight
