It’s been 15 years since Bitcoin was created. After around a decade and a half, there’s still not anything really useful to do with it outside of paying for illegal arms and mail order drugs. Even though it’s basically useless, Bitcoin and crypto in general has a made a few people extremely rich. Worldwide, the crypto sector is valued at around $2.5 trillion. History shows that as soon as the extremely rich get together, the rest of us suffer. To talk about some of the ways that Bitcoin mining and cryptomining in general are wrecking things for the rest of us, we’re joined by Jackie Sawicky from the Texas Coalition Against Cryptomining.
