Nope, still no sense. There are plenty of crypto projects out there that are less centralized, don't dump entire countries worth of carbon into the air, and still manage to have the same logarithmic distribution that Bitcoin does.

BTC was a first draft that somehow metastisized into a literal meme virus that consumes a stupifying proportion of the world power supply.

It's idea cancer. The fact that it continues to exist is a sign of a faulty memetic immune system in our species.
