Exactly, but even then the planet will only be used to extract what little resources it has left used to power a new planet, so in this sense we will literally kill Earth one day or at least take it over and treat it more like a science experiment.

You know that apart from uranium and plutonium and few other highly unstable resources, we actually leave *everything* as it is, maybe forming new bonds but all the original elements are still here, not much leaves earth? So when humanity is gone, in a tiny 10-100 thousand years, you won't be able to tell we were here. So don't worry about killing Earth, we're not that powerful yet. All we are good at is killing one another, that's where most of the progress is concentrated

So, as Carlin said, the planet is fine - *we* are fucked.

PS I also have no idea what this thread has in common with bitcoin.

All things connect.
