As reported in the Evening Standard, the Bank of International Settlements published an annual report with four criteria to continue economic growth. However, it was rather overshadowed by a statement in the appendix (reported here, here, here, here, here and elsewhere) where cryptographic currency was described as a "combination of a bubble, a Ponzi scheme and an environmental disaster".

I agree and so does a Canadian electricity company.

    Do those studies tell you how much energy is used for various other "wasteful" activities like driving to work instead of public transport, playing violent video games, looking at porn, drinking/partying, etc?
