Just because energy is used doesn't mean that it's wasted.

POW is what makes #bitcoin a commodity money whose ledger is constrained by nature. Like physical gold is a commodity money with a ledger constrained by nature. The base layer is not built for speed, it’s built to be very hard to fuck with. L2+ brings speed and more efficient transactions, but without a hardened base layer, you have no real value.

EXACTLY!..👍 All these fools that think you can compromise the base layer for L2 and short term gains are idiots. That's why #Satoshi designed the #consensus layer to rest in the hands of the #virtuous #fullnodes and #Bitcoin loyalist. It's also why being able to run a full node must be accessible to almost anyone that wants to. No blockchain bloat. Low #transaction #fees. Those elements are immutable for Bitcoin. We are Bitcoin..🧡👑🗽
