I like cryptocurrencies but this high electricity usage has kept me away from Bitcoin in the early days. I've since come to forgive Bitcoin for this ridiculous energy usage because of how important a problem Bitcoin is solving (the world desperately needs provably scarce, deflationary hard money). It's just unfortunate that people chose to focus on Bitcoin and not some other PoS crypto which uses less electricity... Unfortunately, now there are all sorts of false narratives around how PoW is more secure than PoS and the Bitcoin tribe will not accept any argument which says otherwise, no matter how logical. I think we are stuck with Bitcoin for now. It's unstoppable. The delusion is too strong. But on the plus side, it will likely solve major economic problems once it reaches mass adoption.
