Sure, I understand that. My problem is with this statement:<p>&gt;<i>The whole consensus network of Bitcoin is based around burning so much energy&#x2F;space&#x2F;infrastructure on hashing that a single actor wouldn&#x27;t be able to invest a bunch of money and take a controlling majority.</i><p>I just don&#x27;t think that&#x27;s true. The only thing keeping one big player from taking over the network is scale. I really don&#x27;t think that the &quot;whole consensus network of Bitcoin is based around&quot; what he says it is, since it&#x27;s not necessary. Yes, there is a proof of stake, but it has nothing to do with &quot;burning so much energy&#x2F;space&#x2F;infrastructure on hashing that a single actor wouldn&#x27;t be able to invest a bunch of money and take a controlling majority&quot;. It&#x27;s just a way to create the right incentives for people to want to mine.
