Comment Not Surprised (and no one should be either) (Score 1) 89

PoW blockchain should have been dead in the water by now, but just because itâ(TM)s BITCOIN, it was first, and its total cap is in the bazillions, people just keep ignoring the very obvious energy consumption problem. Expect an eventual divergence in PoW vs. PoS coin value. If the EU follows, thenâ¦things could get very interesting.

Uh huh, until Bitcoin and the infinite loop proof-of-work hash generators consume all available power on this planet. If you want to put what is given to you for your hard labor into something possibly a store of value, put it in a proof-of-stake, supply fixed coin like Cardano that consumes .01 percent in energy of what BTC consumes. Iâ(TM)d be worried about governments and banks slowing down or literally pulling the plug on Bitcoin and all itâ(TM)s PoW counterparts/scamcoins.
