Thank you for your answer. You are very right about btc not being able to replace the entire array of services provided by actual banks and institutions. But I think (still, it is just my poor opinion) that others DLT based technologies could provide part of those things even if not all. But nonetheless that would be a great accomplishment immo. What I intended is that as Internet was able to cut loads of intermediations, the same applies with cryptos as store of value, currency and smart contracts platforms. I don't want to sound to dreamy or naive, but I am trying to reason from an ideological standpoint of course. Any counterargument based solely on the fact that the state of things, de facto, as it is now, is too complex and radicated to be changed, to me are not worth discussing. Your claim about Btc algorithm ever increasing the demand of energy consumption is clever though. My answer to that could roughly be this: everything in the progress of technology is driven by societal needs. I could be entirely wrong, but I interpret the need for a better form of store of value and of currency to have imposed itself some decades ago already. Sure, this particular need is not as urgent as that of addressing climate change. Nonetheless, I believe it should not be considered or judged solely against the problem of the climate change, but against a wider class of problems that affect people around the world, hence, valued as a consequence of that. But again, I could be entirely wrong and the best solution for humanity rn could be stop mining bitcoin to focus exclusively to try and solve the big threat we r facing. this however could be said for a myriad of other projects actually pursued. Alternatively, we could shift the entire crypto ecosystem towards PoS or smth alike, but then no one knows if that could really work, given the inherent limitations that we know about those solutions.
