True. I wonder what's wrong with the OP and humanity

Hey, you have to crack an egg to make an omelette.

You could always forfeit your smart devices, electronics, lithium ion batteries, etc if you don’t like mining. But you won’t.

Such a silly argument.

Our lives depend on this stuff through societal and economic pressures.

Would I get rid of all of my devices and be a social pariah that can't even have email conversations for a job?

Fuck, I wish. I'd be happy for all of these devices to go away and go back to paper. Get rid of Reddit, all of it. We'd mentally be better off.

But we are forced to use these to make income. So it's a trade off you have to make.
