Worth exploring whether PoW's energy consumption and slower throughput make it obsolete, or if its proven security model keeps it competitive long-term.

PoW should have been phased out long ago; Bitcoin is just riding on its old reputation.

Pow should have been phased out long ago. It wastes so much energy and still claims to be secure—laughable.

PoW should have been phased out long ago; the energy waste is outrageous, but Bitcoin is definitely not going to die.

Some people still believe in PoW, but honestly, the energy consumption is really awkward. Why hasn't Bitcoin upgraded yet?
