It would be amazing if someone could come with a useful technology that solves this particular set of problems. Something like a public distributed ledger where all transactions are validated by a majority of actors in a trustless system ... oh wait.

Gosh, if only that system didn't have its own huge set of drawbacks.

You don't have to mine Bitcoin to send and receive Bitcoin.

> wait

I'll wait! 'Cause if it got even remotely adopted and mainstream, I'll be waiting... for years or decades.... before I can ever hope to make a single transaction.

Yup. Nothing like Satoshi's Glorious Blockchain and its blazing fast 4 transaction per second reference implementation that is Bitcoin.

Yeah and we can secure it by requiring people to waste huge amounts of electricity to prove their stake in the system!
