    We are discussing energy usage, not consensus protocols.

    The Bitcoin network never going to run on any number raspberry pis. Any claims that it will compete with a PoS blockchain for energy efficiency are ludicrous.

      the protocol does not require the current energy use. it could be run on two raspberry pis.

        Are you a bot? You’ve said that.

        Are you seriously suggesting that in the future the Bitcoin network will be running on 2 pis? No. Energy consumption will continue to be 50000 times greater than other PoS blockchains.

            Under what scenario does bitcoin reduce energy intensity by >99%

                It’s partially knowable.

                I know monkeys are not going to fly out of my butt.

                I know that while Bitcoin exists, it’s energy consumption is not going to reduce by over 99%

                  no, you don’t. you can’t have evidence about the future because it hasn’t happened.

                    I’m not asking for evidence. I’m asking for any hypothetical scenario that allows bitcoin to compete with PoS on energy consumption.
