In this entry, I want to build on that and talk about why merchants shouldn't accept digital tulips as a form of payment. ## Disregard For The Environment As I stated in my entry "Avoid Using Cryptocurrency", the consensus mechanism used by the most popular digital tulip schemes consumes an unreasonable amount of energy. By comparison, the per-transaction energy consumption of fiat is basically zero. By accepting digital tulips, you demonstrate that you don't care about the harm your business does to the environment. -- cgit v1.2.3
