Bitcoin consumes 4,000,000,000 W of power to process four transactions per second. A single Raspberry Pi with a database can do an order of magnitude more on 5W. Think about that next time you wonder if it's a good design.

Indeed. My argument is merely that the core Bitcoin protocol (and network) are too broken to be worth building upon. The real solution is a completely new design.

Bitcoin doesn't even work as a store of value, at scale, with how broken it is. We're better off with something else. Yes Lightning will help to a point, but it will never scale to truly global scale if it's built on vanilla Bitcoin.
