Remember that Bitcoin is still using the inherently wasteful “proof of work” pattern to incentive the necessary hash computations.
And that it’s less of a currency than it is a speculative security. Kind of like in-game currency for a MMO that allows real-money exchange, but without the game and somehow with even less stability or efficiency.
Schumer resigning as minority leader wouldnt change one damn thing.
The only resignation that would matter would be from his Senate seat, and while Hochul has some progressive bonna fides from her endorsement of Mamdani I dont think there’s a good choice for an appointed senator who could make much of a difference.
Maybe someone like Zephyr Teachout, but I’m not sure she’d want the job or that Hochul would pick her.
(And if AOC herself wants the job, I’d want her to get the benefit of winning a statewide dem primary first.)
