"which has been replaced" - no, because people are still using the 'old way' in which case it's besides the point: blockains are still needlessly consuming copious amounts of energy.
There is no 'carbon narrative' there is just a reality that BTC is consuming vast amounts of energy.
- kranke155 5y agoBTC is its own problem. I am talking only about NFTs and chains that make them possible. Major NFT markets now exist in Ethereum, Tezos, Solana and Algorand blockchains. Ethereum is the only one that has this problem and it’s working on ending it through an upgrade.

It might decline in popularity, but it's unlikely to actually end just because PoS is deployed. Someone will almost certainly rebrand the current PoW-based Ethereum chain+software and continue to maintain and promote it. This already happened once because the Ethereum principals rewrote history after their favorite smart contract turned out to have a major exploit [1] [2].
