I think using the USD to measure value and compare over time is like using a measuring tape with variable, ever changing units.

I'm 100% on the same page regarding externalities
But everything only seems to be going up if you measure in a devaluing fiat money. When you measure in something that isn't constantly devalued (gold, real estate, bitcoin) everything only goes down in price as efficiency goes up (tech,innovation)

It's true that the increase in purchasing power of Bitcoin comes at a cost, but that cost is the devaluation of fiat money
It's just wealth that's transferred from people who save in fiat money to people who save in Bitcoin. It doesn't increase total consumption and I'd argue it delays consumption

I don't know man. Bitcoin is money that rewards people who save and therefore don't consume stuff.
Fiat money rewards debt and encourages people to spend it and consume stuff.
Inflation is a wealth transfer from people who save to people with debt

It seems there's a high correlation between people being early in Bitcoin and being gullible...
The unfortunate side effect is they now have more time and money than they know what to do with

Money is half of every transaction and as such its value is by definition relative to stuff to spend it on (energy, resources, etc)
The reason that Bitcoin (not crypto) gets more valuable over time is because, apparently, people think it's a credible alternative

This must be the most misinformed and biased article MB ever published
Just one xample: this study, that you quote yourself for the energy use estimates, clearly states that the majority of that energy is sustainable and that this sustainable fraction is growing

It adds CO2 for multiple decades because sequestration is a very slow process
There are deniers out there making the exact same argument about fossil fuel emissions being carbon neutral...
