Really good but not great
The book and podcast seem to be full of good arguments, except about altcoins and Bitcoin energy use. I am really looking for an intelligent conversation about energy but maxis cannot provide a persuasive argument. Maybe that means no good argument exists. This recent energy episode was weak. Maxis need to explain why Bitcoin mining alternatives should not be considered. That is the question. Comparing it to video games and washing machines is not the point. Compare it to itself. Compare it to other POW in crypto. Is it possible to do POW with less energy? Technically, the answer is 100% yes. How do I know? It already exists with other POW systems. Why not use a less wasteful process? I know why (vested interests of miners), but I never hear maxis address that real question. They always answer the question as if it is either current energy or 0 but that is not the choice.
