Bitcorn wastes energy and is relatively unintelligent. Mining could require more intelligence at a particular power level thus wasting intelligence verses power. Either way could use proof of stake or something else... proof of compression Main idea is self-organizing, autopoietic, decentralized, adaptive, negentropic, financially self-sustaining...
