Every time I raise the issue with Proof-of-Work coins being damaging to the environment I get a flood of hate. Proof-of-Stake coins might have other problems, but at least they consume 100s of times less power. I’m sure if we could even come up with something better if the crypto bros stopped circlejerking.
Even in a privatized hospital, like the US, euthanasia will always be cheaper than normal medical care. So even in capitalist countries I don’t see that being the case.
