In the spirit of “verify, don’t trust” and “in math we trust” (something of which I’m sure a Bitcoiner can appreciate), I’ve written a very generic response to this: https://digiconomist.net/verify-dont-trust/

PS: Thanks for the notification regarding the open comment on my paper. I don’t receive these automatically. You’ll be glad to know that I cleared the misunderstanding of this user, who went on to extrapolate by himself. If you had read my paper you would have realized there’s nothing that states energy consumption doubles every six months. I’m willing to provide you a copy if you’re interested.
