You claim Pixar adds value while Bitcoin does not. That’s a mammoth claim in need of extremely amazing evidence to take seriously.

No, I said that the value created by bitcoin is not directly related to how much energy is used. Technically the same outcome could be reached with much less wasted energy.

If you can provide the same proof of work features using less energy, you can demonstrably make a lot of money. Can you show me the evidence of that and the specifics of how to get the same block validation consensus security with less energy consumption?
