Proof of Brain mining, we all dig to find what is most human

That's very true, Steem has given altogether a new meaning to the word "mining". Every interaction on this great platform is mining Steem tokens!

It is true ooo! .i have not come to realize that blogging on steemit is the same thing as minning crypto until i red this post.thanks for this, now i can tell people that i minning crypto or am blogging .

Well said, thanks :) Voted.

Crazy to think about, at least for me lol

Steemit is revolutionary and is such an amazing platform! As an Eco-concious person, I have been torn about the more traditional cryptos. One part of me is ecstatic about all the needed benefits of decentralization and the power of the blockchain to transform the future of the internet and the world economy. The other part of me sees all of the energy and resulting pollution of mining with millions of processors. Here on Steemit we have the best of both worlds though! Decentralized currency with minimal energy consumption needed for mining. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I agree that the articles that show how much energy is consumed for mining cryptocurrency certainly show a staggering amount. I have less negative of the current levels though, as I am looking at the implications further down the line. Decentralization via blockchain will disrupt so many industries that undoubtedly consume high amounts of energy and produce pollution. Technology will continue its march of being more a ubiquitous aspect of human experience and hopefully we can work on improving sustainability of the system, while still allowing for a less fearful mindset to encourage wider adoption.

Resteemed! What a nice perspective everyone should be aware of!

This is the video for everyone, who are asking the same question: "Where does the money in Steemit come from?" Great video Einar!
