> Bitcoin was launched 12 years ago, reached $1'000'000'000'000 monetization this year (>1.5x larger than IMF), exploded interest and funding for cryptography and p2p networking over the past 6-8 years, and is marching towards reaching monetization of gold ($11T).
12 years to get to 8% is not really "marching towards".
And then your flippant "everyone uses energy to do things" dismissal doesn't help. Yes, they do. But people don't buy power plants just to run payment processors. But they do buy them to mine Bitcoin.
