@SteakAndJake The whole point of proof of work is that you can't spin up a botnet or a bunch of AWS servers or a secret gov project server farm and easily overtake the chain. You have to have serious world-relevant amount of computing power and energy to have a wall that high. — PolitiTweet.org

@SteakAndJake If it's less "energy intensive" as you put it, then you need more of it for the same amount of security. Bitcoin isn't secured by its mining algo, it's secured by the difficulty of getting energy and computation to run the mining algo. — PolitiTweet.org
