Cryptocurrencies add nothing useful to society, says chip-maker Nvidia
I think a more defensible phrase would be &quot;net negative to society&quot;. Crypto has its positive uses, but you have to balance those against the negatives of slow transfer speeds, speculative bubbles, scams, energy consumption, and carbon emissions.<p>Also, it needs to be said that Nvidia is probably just jumping on the next marketing bandwagon by pivoting to LLMs after the collapse of crypto. This doesn&#x27;t seem like a principled stance they are taking.
