Every year, bitcoin mining consumes more energy than the entire country of Belgium. Ethereum's 'Merge' could reduce that figure significantly.
A more pragmatic reason to celebrate the shift is simply the reduction in energy consumption.
Justin Sun, the founder of proof-of-stake blockchain Tron and the owner of crypto exchange Poloniex, has announced that he will list a hypothetical proof-of-work ether token on his exchange post-Merge. “I am very excited about the Merge,” Sun says. “[But] nearly 50 percent of members from the community think proof-of-work is safer and even more decentralized than proof-of-stake. Therefore, I think proof-of-work is still essential to build the Ethereum infrastructure, as well as the community.
Drake says that while forks are reasonable and by definition allowed in a decentralized blockchain industry, he does not think they have “much legitimacy.”
