Meta shareholders rejected the Bitcoin plan with less than 1% in favour. The proposal called Bitcoin a hedge against inflation and weak bonds. GameStop and Metaplanet are among firms copying Saylor’s Bitcoin play.
Wait but that’s like saying that as long as the world has at least one electric car the internal combustion engine can continue to exist without issue.
If the vast majority of cryptocurrencies are still power hungry and the most commonly used cryptocurrency is power hungry then the fact that some of the others are better doesn’t really help.

No. PoS (EV makers) are not supporting the existence of PoW (ICE vehicles). In fact, one builder made a deliberate planned move from PoW to PoS. All new builders are PoS.

False. Remove Bitcoin (>100TWh) and the only PoW coin in the top 10 is DOGE (~4TWh).
Your analogy was already sloppy to begin with, I’m not sure I’m really going to buy into your applying it or saying it doesn’t apply only when it suits your argument

Oh great so if you remove bitcoin your argument works, trouble is, bitcoin exists
The only way to remove bitcoin is through redundancy.
Support it’s successor technologies that improve on the design in every single dimension (including energy efficiency).
No but they’re supporting the existence of personal cars which are a blight at this point.
We don’t need more cars. We need more public transit. We don’t need crypto.
The analogy doesn’t stretch to allowing fiat to be compared to public transport.
A medium that is decimated when Trump shouts “Tariff” is not a gold standard.
Fiat is only the gold standard when it is backed by actual gold.

Dude, you brought the slop.
Saying PoS is supporting PoW is like saying EVs support ICEs.
Would you like another go at explaining how your half baked public transport analogy fits into this?
I encourage you to reread the thread. I did not introduce the ICE engine analogy, or the follow up about EV’s. That was you then echodot
You said “we need more public transport”. How does that statement map to Bitcoin?
Dude it was expanding on the analogy you fucking introduced. Read the thread. Go back, reread it. It’s right there.
