This post is dumb and the author is trolling. The discussion about energy usage took place at length over 10s of forum pages in 2021.

To the author: you should be ashamed of yourself for not mentioning or acknowledging the well formed reasons and longform discussions of the early bitcoin community. You also seem to be unaware of their point.

Guess everybody knows what’s going on in your 10’s of forum pages lol. What are you referring to and what’s the substantive argument against the idea that “proof of work is uniquely incentivized to always maximize energy consumption by design?” As someone who lives under a rock and has not read a single one of these aforementioned forum pages, would love some clarity.
