Say no to Crypto and NFTs

I'll be retracting my financial support of the app (via Nitro subscription) until such time as Discord officially announces a discontinuation of its interest in cryptocurrency, and if cryptocurrency and NFTs are pursued I will seek other platforms for my services. 1) Crypto is often absolutely terrible for the environment. While it's true that some currencies are less atrocious, many of the "big" currencies involve complex computation to perpetuate themselves, the computing power required for which is astronomical and which burns out physical PC components relatively quickly, filling landfills with prematurely-spent parts. It also drives up electricity prices for normal people who have nothing to do with bitcoin, in some cases. According to the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index, bitcoin-mining operations worldwide now use energy at the rate of nearly a hundred and twenty terawatt-hours per year. This is about the annual domestic electricity consumption of the entire nation of Sweden. (source) 2) Crypto is, due to its very nature, a massive lure to money launderers and scammers. Is this the reputation Discord wants? In 2019, criminals laundered around $2.8 billion in Bitcoin through cryptocurrency exchanges, an increase of around $1.8 billion from 2018. (source) There are new crypto and NFT scams popping up every few days, and its current existence is not only predatory but also unethical in its current state. People do not want this.
