Under what scenario does bitcoin reduce energy intensity by >99%
Not sure where you get Nazi from.
Ah. You are correct. I take it all back. Disguise is not a manipulative word.

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.
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.
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.
Agreed.
I would add that some Trump supporters would possibly have been persuaded to vote for Bernie.
And finding something disgusting is a moral position.
The bitcoin blockchain doesn't require any power.
Yes. It does. No transaction can occur without proof of work being performed.
any miner can stop, the blockchain would have less power, and still continue to function.
Marginally less power, but nowhere near the reduction needed to compete with a PoS blockchain.
For example Ethereum PoS uses 2,600 MWh per year (= a single 1MW windfarm). Bitcoin uses 53,000x more energy than Ethereum.
I refer to my previous answer.
I read somewhere that higher voter turnout in general benefits Trump (like in 2016).
^(People should still vote though)
You previously said buying property can't be done. Now you've shifted to "not common".

How to use Stablecoins to Pay Rent While direct payment of rent in digital dollars might not be mainstream yet, Rent.App allows its users to pay their rent in USDC or USDT with no fees. By creating or connecting your digital dollars wallet on their website, you can input your landlord’s email and the amount you wish to send them for your rent. However, your landlord will need to create or connect their wallet to the platform to receive the money.
My only tactic in this particular thread branch is to encourage you make more effort with your replies.
The bitcoin blockchain requires more power than any other blockchain while providing less features.
The only outstanding feature of bitcoin is it's price.
I can’t pay for my rent with it
Many landlords accept USDC
and I can’t really buy any physical property with it

I'd like to see a decentralised artist support system, but I can't see anyone legally getting around the "back catalogue access" problem.
I found this video interesting and relevant.
The only disgusting (immoral) part of this is Trump cheating on his wife.
Everything else could have been achieved perfectly legally (i.e. without disgust) if Trump had been smart.
I don't want to disgust you, but "intending to keep things hidden by masking the truth" is practically the definition of politics.
Thanks.
In the future I'm sure politicians on all sides will be paying people to keep certain facts quiet. I was just trying to confirm what is legal and what is illegal.
