Energy consumption vs. production capacity—is our demand exceeding what the grid can handle? This matters more than most realize, especially as blockchain networks scale. Think about it: what happens when infrastructure can't keep pace with growth?

The power grid can't handle it, and the blockchain has to cool down too. This is the real ceiling, more heartbreaking than gas fees.

If the power grid truly can't keep up, us on-chain players might have to go hungry...

Energy issues definitely need attention, but compared to the power grid, I'm more worried about whether miners can afford their electricity bills.

The energy bottleneck is indeed a hidden risk, but honestly, compared to worrying about the power grid, I care more about when on-chain gas fees will return to normal...

Isn't this just the old problem of PoW, asking the same thing every time...

The power grid is about to become overwhelmed now... When Layer 2 truly takes off... haha, it will definitely be a disaster.
