It does when you consider EVs and fossil fuel plants efficiency. It's less CO2 emissions to use electric vehicles. Combustion engines even nowadays I only get around 30% efficiency. That's not close to what a power plant gets

This is a solved problem since now you can ask for a small bitcoin payment over the lightning network. No way to game that. Deployed it on our group chat and 100% stopped all spam.

The rebranding of MySQL as blockchain was a brilliant move for sales. Bit torrent is decentralized and it doesn't use "blockchain". "Blockchain" only works for money and nothing else

Crypto are the projects created to market themselves as decentralised bitcoin clones. They are projects controlled by a small group of insiders that run pump and dump and wash trading scams.

But then not the same because one as you say is just a datastructure that has existed already and uses standard computer science constructions. But the data structure is also revolutionary? That's a contradiction. So the other blockcha

Blockchain is not the same as a blockchain. Blockchain is a hashed data structure from bitcoin. While "blockchain technology" is used in completely different context. The two and not related technically

Ethereum delegated some control to miners for within block trading which isn't decentralised. Between block trading is possible but you'd have to wait 10mins for a trade

They are pseudo decentralised. They have a point of failure. Take down the operator and the exchange is gone. Happened before with an ethereum exchange. Ethereum delegated some control to miners which isn't decentralised
