I don't know much about bitcoin, except you can "mine" bitcoins at some expense 
- to your power bill, your time and the environment. What's the point? (And how 
does it manipulate the medium of exchange?)

 

I’d like to see a study done on the carbon footprint of bitcoin J

Yes, and this already happened. I would add that capitalism is not catching up

itself is not under the control of the market, so the system is non-capitalist

it can survive.

 

I think that confuses financialism with capitalism.  If you can invest in labor 
and equipment and produce something that returns a profit, you're a capitalist. 
 Bitcoin looks to me like just another attempt to manipulate the medium of 
exchange and profit from it - a role traditionally taken by Wall Street and the 
Federal Reserve in the U.S.
