Do you know what halving means? It’s not a stock split and it’s not a value halving.
LoL, no with stock splitting you get the same value only with more stocks that can go up in value eventually. This is worse cause the same amount of work*(arguably more considering how many server farms are out there mining the same coin now as opposed to back when it started)* for half the value. So, in a very real sense it does actually halve the value. And that’s not even looking at the fact that crypto currency has no inherited value. It’s not backed by anything but the investment of interest by crypto bros and shady groups looking to hide transactions and assets.
Ah, so the people creating essentially get paid half for the same amount of work. That’s WAY better lol. Yeah, I’m not super into knowing so much about faux currency. I tend to deal with the real kind. So please pardon my mistake 🙏
Oh, are you talking about the insanely high non-renewable energy used to mine coin and distribute, which is way beyond even AI?
Because I think it’s pretty evident that the coin halving heavily impacts our environment as it now takes twice as much energy to create the same value.
Actually giving a shit about the Earth 101 for ya.
