"Today, each bitcoin transaction requires the same amount of energy used to power nine homes in the U.S. for one day."

I have trouble believing this... Can someone shed a light on this please?

In other news, half of millennials are depresseed. Why?

People are becoming depressed, anxious, stressed, impulsive. The culprit? Exactly smartphones/internet and the dopamine rushes they provide.

It's worse, much worse. With a book, you are focused, on a smartphone there are tons of apps, social media, etc trying aggressively to get your attention. The dopamine rush is enormous.

Actually this is worse than drug addiction as it screws up your attention and emotions, so important for your as a person. Social media is the opposite of meditation. It just trains your distraction and unless you abstract yourself from it, the emotional draining from social media are going to make you numb. Screwed up dopamine receptors are going to help with that too.
