I just read the following article om BBC
http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-43056744
The article explains how scientists at SETI and other projects could not get new GPUs for their telescope data.
So now the mining of Bitcoin and Etherum drives up prices for GPUs so that scientists cannot do their research and for what reason? To validate cryptos and generate a lot of heat and a massive waste of electricity and thereby adding to the pollution of our planet by wasting precious natural ressources.
This exactly why I am such a proud supporter of Gridcoin. Here you have a currency, which helps scientists. I am writing the author of the article to make him aware of Gridcoin. Maybe we could be so lucky that he would write an article about Gridcoin.
Like, share and promote this article so we can get more people leaving the "dark side" of Bitcoin and join Gridcoin instead.
