i should be smarter than to argue with bitcoin maximalists about the energy intensity of bitcoin, but seriously, technologists, the industry has a problem with energy usage *even at this scale*. if it 'actually' scaled to replace everything it would be catastrophic.

Good points. But does not negate secular, exponential decreases in energy cost. Solar, wind are already the cheapest, and a “peak” Bitcoin energy, or exponentially predictive, will soon occur. Further cost reductions once 21 million BTC reached.

I don’t think energy cost has exponentially decreased in the last few years
