Every problem had a solution. And every problem within the solution had a solution. It was like an infinitely recursive [gish gallop](https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Gish_Gallop). I eventually got tired of the non-answers and went to dump my holdings. -Unfortunately for me, almost no exchange accepted Safecoin any more. It was built on the dated Mastercoin protocol and pulling out my funds was a huge hassle.

In fact, I even accepted Monero as a donation method at the time. I didn't invest in it. I just found Monero useful for performing anonymous online payments since there was no other way to privately buy things online. I knew all about the massive energy usage of proof-of-work coins at the time. Like most cryptocurrency enthusiasts, I just dismissed it as "not a waste".

It was the only way to transact privately online, so it would be really inconvenient for me if I also believed it was destroying the planet. -Eventually, I found I could no longer deny the energy impact any more. I decided to remove cryptocurrency as a donation method and make an entry [recommending that people don't use proof-of-work-based cryptocurrencies](/2021/07/18/avoid-using-cryptocurrency/). I even began criticizing others who promoted proof-of-work cryptocurrency. I reasoned I would accept cryptocurrency again after a mass-adopted proof-of-stake currency was released. +Eventually, I found I could no longer deny the energy impact anymore.
