Pardon me asking, B.N. I have a lot to learn here.
We have watched hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of cryptos disappear into the darkness in the last 14 months, and strange stuff is still happening -- both in and out of the crypto world.
And if Unobtanium 'nearly' has a sustainable mining rate, then it still doesn't have a sustainable mining rate.
I really do understand your dislike of Bitcoin; but we are a smart smart community: if kissing Bitcoin's sweaty behind is the best option for us, should we not just do it right now?
