Bitcoin mining sounds fair at first—you can mine coins on your own computer, slowly earning money. Cool, right?

But in reality, most mining is dominated by huge server farms with specialized equipment. That “anyone can join” idea? Mostly gone.

Then there’s energy: these operations gulp massive amounts of electricity. Even with renewable energy, the system rewards burning energy endlessly just to generate more Bitcoin.

Makes you wonder—can a currency built on this model really scale to replace the money we all use today?
