Here is the article I am sure everyone has seen. It references a friend of this board as well:
http://motherboard.vice.com/read/bitcoin-is-unsustainableIf I wanted to better understand what this article was talking about where should I start? There are so many self proclaimed experts, forums, books, articles and "papers" it just confuses me. Google gives me millions of hits. Are there 2-3 people (or more) to follow here or on other sites? Is there anyone specific on youtube I should follow? There are a mind numbing amount of posts on this forum alone. I do not think I ever want to mine. However, I want to understand it and bit coin as technical as possible through my own effort & 'scope'. Is there a great class I could take?
The year is 2016 - what are the top 5 places I should start? I will happily take more than 5 suggestions. However, I know your time is worth money and value it. So, I will take whatever you offer.
Is this article true, the one above? Or have a year later, close to the day we proved it false?
