Victoria Antoinette @lemmy.world the whole network could be run on two raspberry pis. there is no minimum power requirement in the protocol.

No. Then someone would buy 3 raspberry pis and claim all the bitcoin.
Bitcoin was a great idea in 2008 but in 2024 it has been overshadowed by other blockchains in every single dimension except for market cap.
2 0 ReplyVictoria Antoinette @lemmy.world the protocol says those 3 pis have consensus. that's how the network is supposed to function.
1 0 ReplyKnock_Knock_Lemmy_In @lemmy.world We are discussing energy usage, not consensus protocols.
The Bitcoin network never going to run on any number raspberry pis. Any claims that it will compete with a PoS blockchain for energy efficiency are ludicrous.
1 0 ReplyVictoria Antoinette @lemmy.world the protocol does not require the current energy use. it could be run on two raspberry pis.

Are you seriously suggesting that in the future the Bitcoin network will be running on 2 pis? No. Energy consumption will continue to be 50000 times greater than other PoS blockchains.

I know monkeys are not going to fly out of my butt.
I know that while Bitcoin exists, it's energy consumption is not going to reduce by over 99%

no, you don't. you can't have evidence about the future because it hasn't happened.
