Consensus algorithms lie at the foundation for a great many of the backend systems our internet depends on, massive scaling would be a near impossibility without them. -- me, a 25 year backed engineer
It makes absolute sense that a massively scalable trustless system involving money would use a consensus algorithm with a large number of nodes.
Uh, yeah, after guzzling electricity like a small country, I'm sure bitcoin has massive scaling. Ability to process 9 transactions per seconds counts as massive scalability, right?
And of course, the dollar, and Wall St. use no electricity whatsoever!
