ETH (for example) at least sets a reasonable lower level of what's possible. BTC is just wasteful by comparison.

There's a reason that ETH is barely hanging in there and will never catch up to Bitcoin. I doubt it will survive the next decade.

Barely hanging there? With the second largest market cap and 5th trade volume (for the coin itself, higher for the network)?

It is easy to save energy when you are OK with a lower level of decentralization. I could probably run a payment processor on my computer alone that handles 100k transactions per second.

The proof of stake idea is like a ponzi scheme
