Yes, never change, never do new stuff. Also, human bureaucracy uses more energy than proof of stake systems.

An important part of changing and doing new stuff is recognizing how the change impacts the wider space. Just changing and disrupting things for the sake of change is likely ignoring all the details that went into the original system. Often, those details aren't even understood or known at the time, but someone 70 years ago encountered a situation, put a system in place, and it worked ever since.

The past 15 years of big tech disruption of existing systems is a good example of this. We changed so much about so many institutions, and so so much of it turned out to be for the worse.

During the pandemic I had a few friends that endured severe mental health problems due to the fact their GPU's died in the middle of the height of bitcoin bullshit. One couldn't do their job, and neither could socialize through the games we typically loved to play together. They became further isolated during a time of physical isolation.

Ever since then I've been completely against bitcoin. I understand they allegedly made the process less GPU heavy now, but I won't forget that human suffering took place for literally no good reason other than a pyramid scheme preying upon ignorant and stupid people.

So yeah, fuck crypto. People need to find another way to do that shit.
