Even when applied at an extremely large scale? Anyway, I'll believe it when I see it. Maybe blockchain technology will be more sustainable in the future, but until we're there, I'm against it. If we ever get to a suistainable point, we can start talking about actual use cases more seriously (which I'm not optimistic about, mind you, because there isn't much NFTs can do that hasn't been possible for a long time already).

Sustainable blockhain platforms are used in a large scale. For example Tezos last year carbon footprint was equal to that of the average footprint of 17 people and they had 33 million transaction last year.

Solano last year had 20 billion transactions and energy usage equate to 1038 American households. BTW one solano transaction takes 65 times less energy than play 1 minute of a video game on the Playstation 5.

Solano has more holes:

Solana is not decentralized enough: Some crypto enthusiasts believe that there might not be too many disadvantages of investing in SOL, but this feature of the crypto is particularly considered as its biggest con


You can't have it both ways. Either centralized/governed and efficient or decentralized and secure yet harming the environment in the process.

So why not just stick with what we have.
