It raises the question of what is bitcoin without its massive hashrate. What is the value proposition there?
The Monero Bros decided like 10 years ago that Bitcoin was already captured and that we needed to do something else while maintaining first principles.
I don't really understand why a minimal hashrate version of Bitcoin is preferable.
Can you explain that to me?
