- eimrine 5y agoThat data you have mentioned is not about requirements. For example, world military spendings for 2021 is $2113 billion (just googled it, if you need a source of data). But that number is not a requirement, it is kind of a measure of world's imperfection. Crypto's energy consuming might be reduced drastically as well as the number I have mentioned. I can tell some more of scary stories: if that military spendings will not be reduced, the meaning of "forever" word may be not as much time as you expect. In another words, the digits I have mentioned are killing us way faster then the digits you have mentioned. So I don't see any problem for using "forever" word in that case.
