the future
is unknowable
It's partially knowable.
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%
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.
I'm not asking for evidence. I'm asking for any hypothetical scenario that allows bitcoin to compete with PoS on energy consumption.
since you can't have evidence, you can't know.
I don't have evidence, but I know monkeys are not going to fly out of my butt.
you can't know that.
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.
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.
