Interesting video.  I haven't been following Bitcoin that closely
to spot the mistakes you may have found, but if true, the part about
harnessing the flared methane waste gas was pretty cool, and a
market force I would not have foreseen.

On the other hand, all that computation still feels like a waste
to me, although when I try to mentally solve the same problems Bitcoin
does, I have not yet found a better solution.
