I was wondering... When nuclear fusion becomes a thing in "the next 30 years", i.e., almost infinite and free energy production, what do you think will happen to proof of work? Will make the bitcoin consensus stronger or weaker?
If nuclear fusion is going to be centralized, as it seems for now (look at the ITER), then I think it can be a problem. Nation-state attacks could be feasible.
Attacks on a nation's power supply will affect much more than just Bitcoin.Exactly, if such an attach would be carried out, Bitcoin will be the very last thing to worry about!
I can already imagine as the devastation rages, structures burn and people flee our beloved bitcoiners will desperately search for a new source of power to get the miners going again.
