It's based on Blockchain, so it requires mining.I get it in regards to bitcoin, ethereum, etc but a NFT doesnt require mining to create, does it? I thought NFTs were created and sold/bought.

Most of the major crypto farms are "green" powered and use a large percentage of solar, and geothermal energy...Bitcoin consumes 'more electricity than Argentina'

At least you're better off than the guy in England. He threw away a computer, that had Bitcoins on it. This was before the craze. By the time he realized he'd thrown away the wrong PC, his Bitcoins were worth more than $270 million dollars...!
You do know that 'Boomer' does not mean having gas issues. Right?I'm a 'Boomer' and I tear up a bit when I take the first bite of a really good steak.
I lost my BTC HD around 2012, at the time it was only worth around $100, now (if I had kept them, which I know I wouldn't have anyway so I'm not too concerned about it) it would be worth just under a million...
You do know that Age and Flatulence are not mutually exclusive. Right?You do know that 'Boomer' does not mean having gas issues. Right?
People would actually waste electricity on the kartrashians?
P. T. Barnum was totally correct in his observations of human behavior.Apparently they do. That family made mad $$$ off social media.
That is a snip from that movie.I agree. Hero soldiers after Nazi gold. At least I think that's from Kelly's Heroes?
You see, with money you make money.If it's like cryptocurrency, the issue is the computing power required to generate the crytographic information. It is estimated that a non-trivial percentage of the world's power consumption is involved with cryptocurrency mining - on the order of 100 TeraWatt-hours per year. (at a dime a kilowatt-hour, that's over 11 billiion dollars worth of electricity.)
Or one could write a cryptominer app and covertly install it without permission on 100s of thousands or even millions of vulnerable computers and have them expend the CPU/GPU cycles and associated costs to generate cryptocurrency for you.
For a second, I misread that as "Bifrost consumes more electricity than Argentina."That's just so wrong. I mean wrong for the environment. I'm selling all 450,000 of my Bitcoins in protest today.
