Victoria Antoinette @lemmy.world I know monkeys are not going to fly out of my butt.
no, you don't. you can't have evidence about the future because it hasn't happened.
1 0 ReplyKnock_Knock_Lemmy_In @lemmy.world I'm not asking for evidence. I'm asking for any hypothetical scenario that allows bitcoin to compete with PoS on energy consumption.
1 0 ReplyVictoria Antoinette @lemmy.world since you can't have evidence, you can't know.
1 1 ReplyKnock_Knock_Lemmy_In @lemmy.world I don't have evidence, but I know monkeys are not going to fly out of my butt.
1 0 ReplyVictoria Antoinette @lemmy.world you can't know that.
1 1 ReplyKnock_Knock_Lemmy_In @lemmy.world 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.
1 0 ReplyVictoria Antoinette @lemmy.world 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.
1 1 ReplyKnock_Knock_Lemmy_In @lemmy.world 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.
1 0 ReplyVictoria Antoinette @lemmy.world there is no energy requirement at all for either mining method. the protocols are energy-agnostic.
1 0 ReplyKnock_Knock_Lemmy_In @lemmy.world Incorrect. Bitcoin protocol is designed to distribute bitcoin to whoever provides the most energy (work).
