I confess that I don't understand the computational undertpinnings of Bitcoin
and similar block-chains. Or how to even purchase one (uh, I mean, SPECULATE on
one.) A bad idea all around, IMO.

Apparently, the computer computations that are required now consume something
like 1.7% (?) of the WORLD's total electrical energy production. That's insane.
