Pregunta para los entendidos en BTC.
Si entiendo bien, en un mundo donde la energía va a ser cada vez más cara Bitcoin no es sostenible energéticamente hablando.

¿Es un problema real o se solucionará via innovación y energías "renovables"? ¿Cómo lo veis? ¿Podría llegar alguna no-minable a quitarle el puesto a BTC / Ethereum?

Proof of Work
Originally designed in 1993 to prevent denial of service attacks, Proof-of-Work is used by Bitcoin to validate tras*actions within its blockchain. This is achieved when miners compete against one another to solve complex computational puzzles.

As these puzzles have grown more complex over time, the computational power and energy required to solve them has increased exponentially. The result is a burdensome drain on energy sources.
It also has catastrophic effects on the environment. Research shows that Bitcoin mining is responsible for producing roughly 22 megatons of carbon dioxide every year, a carbon footprint equal to the entire city of Las Vegas.
