Cryptocurrency is traded through a system called blockchain, which involves a ‘sender’ and ‘receiver’ of the transaction record, along with a ‘miner’ who verifies the transaction’s integrity. Essentially, it is a multi-party system that depends on computer hardware known as a server. Running a computer to calculate and validate transactions consumes electricity, and to participate in the blockchain network, the cryptocurrency issuer must pay a fee. This fee effectively reflects electricity costs. Since the blockchain system relies on electricity, the core of cryptocurrency ultimately comes down to energy. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Like the view of humans, the view of animals also greatly influences our lives. When a domestic puppy dies, we are not indifferent; we commemorate and mourn as we would at a human funeral. However, how should we understand the phenomenon of savoring and even admiring the tenderloin steak on the table without guilt? A person may choose a vegetarian diet due to health issues, but often, it is also influenced by their views on animals. Food, clothing, and shelter are essential for human survival, yet we are less aware of how our views on animals impact these areas compared to our views on humans. Humans coexist with animals. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
