Based on the rate bitcoiners have been able to move forums vBulletin is probably safe until at least 2040.

For the sake of the lurkers, the power is by definition wasted because the actual work of recording transactions can be done on a Casio watch with a CR2032 battery, the rest is thrown away in trying to solve a Sudoku every time you want to append cell QZA2543 on the infinite spreadsheet that is the blockchain. "But what about 'securing' the blockchain?" some wide eyed crypto idiot enthusiast will ask. This only matters if you have to make the blockchain trustless, and in reality is worthless because you already have to trust multiple outside entities to not gently caress you over. The miners are concentrated into a cabal. The exchanges are loosely regulated, if at all, and scams are common. There are multiple lines of failure in terms of trust that show the wisdom of trustlessness but more importantly that you should never transact with crypto people in the first place, making it a moot point. It's so wasted that the vast majority of crypto transactions are effectively off the blockchain, putting lie into the supposed "value" of such "decentralization." (It also belies the promise of making everything blockchain, but thankfully that's stopped being a hype point recently.)

So any time someone says "but the blockchain will do x" you know one of two things: the speaker is delusional and is fooling himself and should not be listened to, or he's a fraudster trying to fool you and should not be listened to.

You could always buy some cheap land in Nevada and make the cars and drive around in assless gimp leather (no one's going to judge) on weekends and go back to civilization on weekdays. Hell, I'll bet there's a business opportunity for that: post-apocalyptic dude ranch.
