If you haven't listened to @Daniel Batten's presentation on the environmental impact of bitcoin mining, you really should:
You'll learn a lot and get your hands on some materials to orange pill your favorite green party friend!

Any deconstructivistic theory could learn a lot from that. Building something new is what is really fascinating!
