    What's more objectionable?

    1. Coal miners - most of asia will need thermal coal for decades to come, but global warming!

    2. Facebook - amazing communities, but so much toxic information and exploitation The Silent Partner Cleaning Up Facebook for $500 Million a Year

    3. BTC - as the "killer app" of the block chain, digital money has incredible potentional for disruption and inovation , and BTC specifically an incredible network effect, but requires tremendous energy to be expent to "secure" the blockchain.

    Which is worse?

    Well despite the cons of each at least coal serves a useful purpose, facebook is a fairly useful means of communication and connectivity, bitcoin however... I dont speculate in it, and to date I dont know anyone who has found a use for it other than speculating.

    I vote option 3 as the 'worst' ( although the vigorous retort from the BTC fan boys is always priceless)
