Honestly eth just made more progress between built in smart contracts and proof of stake, I'm surprised Bitcoin is still holding on. Sunk cost fallacy I guess.
I'm not an economist or anything, but I don't think it's a sunk cost fallacy I think it's just a market. They're all mining both. Just leaning heavier on whichever one makes them more money in the moment. The market is going to have a hell of a lot of inertia.
That's a good point a lot of the crypto markets influence is still more focused as an investment vehicle for getting more fiat wealth, that's more reasonable to me. I guess I am just a die hard engineer and the practical uses matters a lot more than the price of tulips.
I mean honestly you're right. Nobody should be left on the Bitcoin side from an environmental or a cost standpoint. But I have no idea how long it's going to take to catch up.
I will say that at some point if there is an awakening, bitcoin's going to crash so f****** hard. And the first ones out are going to make all the money.
PoS and PoW both suffer from a centralizing of power issue IMHO so that doesn't sound implausible, TruthLabs seems to be throwing a lot of allegations towards the network though but I am not seeing the evidence yet.
Yeah, it still seems like a lot of unfounded claims, like they point to an account and say "this is the CCP" and it very well be but I keep failing to see where those claims are substantiated.
