However, putting a cryptocoin in the middle of the political debate over global warming is stupid, unnecessary and almost certainly  counterproductive.  

Energy efficiency over Bitcoin is a valid point.  Saying switching to NXT is going to Save The World is a stretch.  We should not go there.

This is a rational position. We should leave it at that (for now Cool).


The focus needs to be on the "tool" rather than "what it can be used for" - once the tool is in place there will be plenty of time for people to argue their causes.

I see your point, but it's not completely convincing, because tools do have their biases. Nobody is going to design a knife and later on have a big discussion on how best to play tennis with it. Knives are biased towards cutting and slicing stuff by their very design.

I think you get the anology without me explicitly making it clear Wink
