“Super PACs backed by the cryptocurrency sector have raised more than $102 million, the third-most of all super PACs engaged in the 2024 election, according data from Opensecrets.org.“
“Cryptocurrency” isn’t currency. It’s a scam. It takes in cash and gives you nothing. You can buy more things with Apple Pay than you can with cryptocurrency.
The weak argument is that cryptocurrency is finite. And that’s a weakness not a strength.

It’s a weak argument as all of the above still have greenbacks as the final destination.
Crypto is like using stocks certs to pay for things.
So, no, it’s not the same. Don’t confuse how a transaction is made with what it is made with.
Crypto needs energy to work (and it is a horrendous energy hog).
That was my point.
@feloneouscat lol energy is used when making they transactions I mention though - granted smaller amounts than crypto - might be weak to argue that but it's still fact energy is used
Banks also need energy to run their servers
BTW ik how crypto works....and yes crypto uses may more energy no disputing that just saying energy is still used for "normal" banking and "normal" purchases made us
