re <<All investment in mining is abut to go to waste>> should i make a nonsensical statement such as, "all investment in horse buggy manufacturing [or any other at-the-time-relevant activity that made profit] is about to go to waste", any reader would be correct to point out to me the silliness of my statement. one day brazil shall experience "all the effort in ______ is about to go to waste" going to waste is a good thing, for that is how progress is made. to appreciate such, one must be mathematical, have history perspective, and be cerebral. should one fret over inevitable / eventual 'going to waste', then nothing gets done. bitcoin itself may be a waste of time, and time shall tell. people who made and makes money from bitcoin probably do not see their toils as a waste of time. all of your fretting is seemingly in line with your proclivity to categorise / rank people by olive-ness, and your preference to judge whether what they do is 'real economy' or not. it basically may all come down to your apparent inclination to somehow pronounce whether others are olives or not. you best self-reflect.
