“Saying that you want the Bitcoin network to use less energy exposes you as either naively uninformed, dangerously authoritarian, or both. A decrease in Bitcoin’s energy use is a decrease in security, fair distribution, and resistance to hostile alteration. If you are cheering for a reduction in hashrate you are cheering for centralization and ease of corruption.”
