Most pieces of technology tend to become more energy-efficient as time goes on. See electric cars or even gradual improvements to the internal combustion engine like VTEC. Same with computer CPUs. Bitcoin is pretty unique in that it gets more wasteful over time. Disclaimer: I have some Bitcoin so “you’re just jealous” isn’t a valid retort.
