Just had an interesting debate on X with a BTC maxi that is quite open minded.

Here's a Summary (not actual citations):

BTC maxi: I love seeing major Bitcoin mining operations go online.

ETH maxi: There are more efficient ways to have a group strangers agree on what's on a ledger.

BTC maxi: I believe Proof-of-Work to be superior to the alternatives and that the fans of the alternatives are dragging us down. This is a major discovery, and by pointing to its flaws you're impoverishes those who could otherwise have been convinced sooner and stored their wealth cheaper.

ETH maxi: Inventing the light bulb was a major discovery. Its inventor then wanted to bring light to every household by building a grid that used his standard: DC. Discussions on AC vs DC were endless, but at the end those discussions were responsible for the electrification of the world.

What do you think?
