Anyone have a parent that used to clip coupons a lot? My mom used to clip coupons for groceries growing up.
People say bitcoin's proof of work is wasteful, but what good did making people clip coupons for discounts do for society? It is such a weird act. A store will give you a discount, but only if you spend time clipping out these pieces of paper first. We want to make sure you wasted time, energy, and paper before we drop the price of our products. It is basically proof of work, but is completely meaningless and wasteful. Glad that has mostly gone by the wayside.
