Part 8/9:
Concerns arise regarding Bitcoin's energy consumption relative to its utility. Current critiques question whether Bitcoin's vast energy expenditures directly correspond to effective transactions. While market carrots like hash power entice new investments, the long-term sustainability of the network rests on its ability to efficiently process transactions rather than merely having a higher computational power.
The discussions surrounding BTC and BSV illuminate differing priorities between the two currency protocols. Advocates for BSV argue for increased transaction scalability and speed in processing over sheer hash power, insisting that a functional network will always trump an unnecessarily bloated power structure.
