You're proving my point here right? The trust and security of the Bitcoin blockchain does not have value to you, so in your mind we're completely wasting all that energy.
The fact is that a lot of "useless" things cost a lot of energy - Facebook? Useless to some, not to others.
Personally I view Bitcoin as the first implementation, we can and should improve on that concept. See Polkadot, Algorand, Eth 2.0 etc. as the new generation which does not use up a lot of energy.
- dvfjsdhgfv 5y agoNo, I don't think you are completely wasting the energy. I think the waste is disproportionately large in relation to other services providing some value to society, including the ones by FAANG. I understand that you personally view Bitcoin as the first implementation, but the reality is that it is now the dominant one that is starting to exert non-negligible influence on the planet we are all living in. And it is not fixable, because it is one of the core features of Bitcoin. Good luck convincing people holding millions in Bitcoins to migrate to altcoins.
