Imagine now if you had to try billions of passwords before your post gets published, because that is exactly how Bitcoin wastes energy.

Yeah. Someone should do something about that.
You do realize that you are implying that anyone should be able to mint a BTC block at the click of a button, yeah? Because that's how I published this post and this comment.
You either did not understand or you are willingly misinterpreting. You did not mine this post, you posted it. To be posted witnesses had to simply sign with their passwords and verify your signature.
With Bitcoin the process is similar but they need to test billions of possible keys per block. Their "witnesses" test billions, dare I say trillions, of "passwords" per block. Here a few hundred keys can sign hundreds of transactions per block.
