It’s still not earning you money to spend electricity because you still have to pay the transfer fee which is around 6 cents / kWh but it’s pretty damn cheap nevertheless, mostly because of the excess in wind energy.
Last winter because of a mistake it dropped down to negative 50 cents / kWh for few hours, averaging negative 20 cents for the entire day. People were literally earning money by spending electricity. Some were running electric heaters outside in the middle of the winter.
Or I could just ignore crypto, and not contribute to the heat death of the planet.
Big picture, you’re encouraging people to use this fake money by taking part in it. And it usually uses a lot of energy to do it.
Yeah, I’m sure you use exclusively gold and silver coins to pay your groceries. Of course you wouldn’t use fake money. As a reminder, this post is about excess energy
