Right, it can generate child porn, tell kids to kill themselves, and tell you to put gasoline in your pasta sauce while while also quadrupling or more the price of hardware! Much better!

I'm not even sure where you're getting the idea that you can't buy drugs with crypto, though, because you absolutely can???

I specifically referred to Chiacoin, as the topic was harddrives, not blockchain as a whole.

Ahh, I somehow missed that, my bad. I'd never even heard of that one holy shit

They claimed that it was a more eco friendly coin, as it didn't use GPU (and thereby not much electricity) but instead it caused harddrive prices to jump, due to excessive wear on drives. May for saving electricity, and instead causing a fuckton of e-waste, I guess.
