Exactly! What I feel people don’t get is that Bitcoin doesn’t need energy to operate, it could run perfectly fine using the amount of energy required to run the most basic machine, just like when Satoshi mined the first blocks. Miners don’t mine to make Bitcoin secure, they do it for their own self interest, their interest in monetizing energy.
