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

        I don’t have evidence, but I know monkeys are not going to fly out of my butt.

            So … Bitcoin matching PoS energy consumption is as knowable as monkeys flying out of my butt.

            Gotcha. Conversations like this are what give Bitcoin Maxis a bad name.

              i haven’t taken any position on “bitcoin maxis”. i’m only discussing the protocol and the limits of knowledge. you are making all manner of leaps of logic.

                A Maxi would be unable to admit that there is no imaginable scenario where the bitcoin protocol will drop to the low energy requirements of a PoS blockchain.

                  there is no energy requirement at all for either mining method. the protocols are energy-agnostic.

                    Incorrect. Bitcoin protocol is designed to distribute bitcoin to whoever provides the most energy (work).
