You guys are really bad at forum lore.

Table 6 of some no name poster presentation/conference is where CRTX was presenting their ground breaking press release or something.

nope! just set one "unit" of gold = 1 gold atom, and you can't even cut it in half without it turning into some other elements

A bitcoin transaction uses exponentially more power than for instance a Visa transaction, end-to-end. Plus it's massively slower.

Like, the difference is so vast that it's not even funny.

_{Source: https://www.statista.com/statistics/881541/bitcoin-energy-consumption-transaction-comparison-visa/}

And that's before you factor in the insane amounts of electronic waste produced by beating on the latest GPUs day-in, day-out and replacing them regularly when they inevitably fail and/or become too slow to be useful for mining.

This is just Bitcoin, mind. Other cryptocurrency may be slightly less inefficient, but they are still -- by design! -- inefficient, because requiring the calculation of complex math for every transaction is fundamental to how cryptocurrency and blockchain works. It's made that way because the basic concept is to force and shoehorn scarcity onto something that by its very nature is the complete opposite to scarce.
