Sure, but almost any other system *scales* with power. Yes, the two problems are orthogonal, but they *shouldn't be*. The design should scale with increased power consumption.

My main point is Bitcoin is not, and fundamentally cannot, achieve what people are trying to use it for, and it has vastly outgrown its potential as a design, and the only thing propping it up is moronic investors and speculation.
There are already plenty of other altcoins with differing properties; it remains to be seen if one will fundamentally fix this problem while keeping the benefits or adding its own.

But in the meantime, Bitcoin is already broken, and a ginormous, colossal, unheard of, utterly comical waste of energy, and is absolutely, positively, and clearly not worth the energy that is being invested into it.

So your main point is that you want bitcoin to be faster. Great, well done. The reason it isn't faster is that there is disagreement as to how to do it. Increasing the block size was the original idea and would scale without limit.
