Bitcoin does require electricity and hardware to be produced. This is an objective fact. And that requires a certain minimum of money. Facts, such stubborn things.

But money spent does not mean there's value.

and only idiots would waste terajoules of energy a year digging yellow metal out of the ground.

I think we can agree that if I spent terajoules digging sand instead of gold I wouldn't have something as valuable as the idiots you refer too.

As you see, plenty of circular reasoning going on.

At least if you are going around in a circle you don't get lost.

au contraire mon frère

Speaking of valuable, at the time of the having I will be visiting a very old person, much older than Jimbo.

Tell him/her that I said "hi" if you run out of conversation material. That kind of stuff fills in a lot of time with old people.

"Aw, that's nice!"
"He's such a nice boy."
"Who?"
"Have I met him?"
"Was he the creepy guy down the street?"
"Who's his parents?"
