@jripleyJohn Ripley It is possible to kill a meme. You just have to go about it a particular way.
@mcc I've read that the average inefficiency of money laundering is roughly 2:1 to 3:1, as in when you do crime, you're going to lose 50-67% of your proceeds in schemes to 'legitimize' it. So BitCoin could probably end up 2-3x the cost of energy and still be in common use. That's probably where it's asymptotically heading, now.
