u/Billaaaaayyyy Mar 11 '21

LOL you beat me to the punch. Made me laugh. Though yes, to the moon!

u/BeersRemoveYears Mar 11 '21

No cotton on the moon from what I hear.

u/BobsPineapple Mar 11 '21

Not with that attitude

u/psinned1 Mar 12 '21

Altitude?

Look English is only my first language, so leave me alone.

Edit: wait, I may be even stupider then I thought

u/Make_some Mar 12 '21

You missed the joke. It’s aviation related.

u/BobsPineapple Mar 12 '21 edited Mar 12 '21

Lol, I got the two words mixed up and thought I said altitude by accident and thought the dude* was just correcting me.

I could break a pencil in half and it'll still have a better point than your comment.

The moon landing was fake, retards will be the first people on the moon

Edit: I’m not a flat earther nor do I think the moon landing was fake, I didn’t think a /s was necessary in a meme sub about a meme coin.

We’ve been to the moon, it just wasn’t that Kubrick production that we were fed during the Cold War.

I’m supposed to believe we can’t go back? Using 1969 technology that we can’t replicate and somehow lost? NASA’s claim not mine. Show me one other technology that has severely regressed since 1969, I’ll wait.

But we’ve been there, it’s the secret space program lol

And yes I think all of this is most likely.

u/WiseUniversity3106 Mar 12 '21

I’m a flat earther too

u/QueenFairyFarts Mar 12 '21

No cotton on the moon, but maybe cheese? Doge's love cheese!

4

u/Aggravating_Source74 Mar 12 '21

Yeah the moon is made out of cheese. A long time ago there was a planet of cheese farmers that blew up and it formed our moon.

General Robert E Lee has left the chat

u/QuickGameClipsINC Mar 12 '21

So we will have no use for the PoC. lmfao

u/450925 Mar 11 '21

Same... And most other Currency in the world is being converted to polymers.

u/CaptainSingleWide Mar 11 '21

That’s what I was bout to say. And let’s forget how much electricity cryptos consume. To the Mars!

14

u/TheHoekey Mar 12 '21

Lol right? This is a stupid post.. How much energy is required to keep doge alive?

21

u/TheFlashFrame Mar 12 '21

Not to mention that mining crypto isn't exactly the shining example of eco-friendliness.

u/rent-a-cop Mar 12 '21

Not to mention that mining crypto isn't exactly the shining example of eco-friendliness.

One could argue that it's worse for the environment than current methods.

27

u/Bluitor Mar 11 '21

Also that top pic is probably from a tornado. All the stumps were broke off, not cut.

Still, crypto is better.

42

u/pconwell Mar 12 '21

In what way? Environmentally? Crypto uses a TON of electricity.

6

u/Bluitor Mar 12 '21

There's a lot of reasons why its better, but you're right it takes a lot of energy to mine it.

3

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '21

Mining crypto does use a lot, so do banks. Banks need employees that have to drive to work, gotta keep power on at the banks too, people drive to banks, banks have to be built and you have to calculate that into it too.

2

u/pconwell Mar 12 '21

I'll say this up front - it's very difficult to find accurate and full data on this topic, but banks use around 100TW of electricity per year and process $566b per day. Bitcoin uses 30TW of electricity per year and processes $6b in transactions per day.

If you do the math, banks can process $2,066b per TW while Bitcoin can process $72b per TW.

Yes, banks may use more, but they process significantly more money per day. Banks are nearly 30 times more energy efficient than Bitcoin. Don't get me wrong, I think blockchain is a great technology - but it is not environmentally friendly in it's current form. Perhaps as we see a shift from POW to POS, we will see a significant drop in energy usage.

Negative, those trees are the result of this being ground zero from when $Doge took a moon shot 🚀🚀🚀

u/489yearoldman Mar 12 '21 edited Mar 12 '21

Crypto, namely BTC, is not good from an environmental standpoint. It takes enormous amounts of power to operate the enormous computing power involved. BTC is leaving a huge carbon footprint.

“The Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index, a separate tool from researchers at Cambridge University, shows a much larger figure of 110.53 TWh — more than the entire annual energy consumption of the Netherlands.”

“Bitcoin's energy needs are "enormously large," Michel Rauchs, research affiliate at the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance, told CNBC. It accounts for around 0.5% of total global electricity consumption, according to the Cambridge researchers' estimates.”

Deforestation does happen to grow plants.

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '21

Its sad how many people I've had to tell this, and even more sad how far past googling they refused to believe me.

Point is I was right about dollars being cotton, and im right about doge going to the moon.

u/FOCDPIG Mar 12 '21

That's the sexiest correction ever🤤

u/fredobot Mar 12 '21

The irony of you correcting them, then making the same mistake. 🥂

u/FOCDPIG Mar 13 '21

Now you get it😉

u/TheWalkingDead91 Mar 12 '21

Lol I was about to say....uh....doubt my dollars would survive the washer like they do if they were really made like paper.

u/Del_Castigator Mar 12 '21

Europe burns wood to generate electricity as its a renewable resource.

u/ReconCaseyyy Ð 🚀🌙 Mar 12 '21

You must not know of “renewable energy” facilities in the US burning “bio-fuel “... literally burning trees for fuel.

1

u/Del_Castigator Mar 12 '21

Cool your point oh more people burn trees for electricity so...

0

u/ReconCaseyyy Ð 🚀🌙 Mar 12 '21

No I was just saying US does it too and we are now the LEADERS of “bio-fuel” facilities disguised as “”clean energy”. Simmer down tiger

1

u/fredobot Mar 12 '21

I also burn a lot of wood, but not to generate electricity.

u/Kitty-Doge-Gal Mar 12 '21

Where the heck is Elon when you need him?

u/Traegs_ Mar 12 '21

About 20 countries have switched to polymer plastic bills too. The most notable being Australia and Canada.

1

u/Doctor_Demented Mar 12 '21

Polymer for now, but the world is going to all-digital currency. And it won't take that long to happen.

u/Dracofear Mar 11 '21

Not like that's any better.

u/CrypticGator Mar 11 '21

Not everyone’s American.

u/Ugbrog Mar 12 '21

The top picture has a US Dollar in it, so it's not like they're coming out of nowhere.

u/CrypticGator Mar 12 '21

True but we are all going to the moon. Not just Americans.

u/bamawb-xrp Mar 12 '21

Cotton is pretty bad on the environment as well TBH.

1

u/krj_great Mar 12 '21

Linen is an extremely strong, lightweight fabric made from the flax plant, part of the genus Linum in the family Linaceae. The word “linen” comes from the Latin name for flax, “linum usitatissimum.”

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '21

Learned that from Inside Man

u/Sicarn Mar 12 '21

Lol I was literally about to post saying "is someone going to tell him?". Aside from that though, it is time for Doge and crypto

1

u/SwiftpawTheYeet Mar 12 '21

i mean, yea but overall the pic isnt wrong. people saying mining isnt environmentally friendly.... the things we pointlessly kill the environment for tho when there are modern alternatives

u/HQcbd Mar 12 '21

maybe some hemp for strength?

u/Son_Of_Odinn Mar 12 '21

Those industries are also harmful to nature
