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.
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.
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.

there is no energy requirement at all for either mining method. the protocols are energy-agnostic.
Incorrect. Bitcoin protocol is designed to distribute bitcoin to whoever provides the most energy (work).
