    the whole network could be run on two raspberry pis.

    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.

      the protocol says those 3 pis have consensus. that’s how the network is supposed to function.

        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.

            Are you a bot? You’ve said that.

            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.
