    I think proof of state solves some of the energy and efficiency issues, but I agree it’s pretty over hyped.

    Edit: thought that was taking about crypto in general, not just BTC. Yeah I absolutely agree.

      It is about 99% more efficient than proof of work, making it still enormously inefficient compared to traditional means. Crazy to think about!
