Anyone experiencing an outage on the BogleHeads forum today? I'm unable to access it from my work network, though it usually pops right up, so I'm wondering if my work blocked it. It seems to be loading on my phone, but it never reaches the site.

Ok btc using as much electricity as Norway or Argentina:
I was thinking about the energy consumed with bitcoin. I wonder if trading it is also a culprit. It would seem to reason that when i buy some bitcoin on an exchange, it is just lining me up with a seller and there isn't any new coin generated. I would think that generating the new coins, the mining as it is called, is the energy intensive activity.
Maybe i have this all wrong, but does simply trading bitcoin consume the massive amounts of electricity that have come to be associated with the currency?
Not sure about the mechanics of Bitcoin, but it makes no sense. Looks like Elon should spend more time working at Tesla, and less on crypto Tweets.
Fails across the board:

Up again today, beating all major indices year to date.
As my coach used to say, “A fast start is nice, but there’s a long way to go.”

You don’t consider the NASDAQ to be a major index?
As January goes, so goes the market. Better swap now. ?
