I think your are mixing concepts here. Entropy grows at universe level, as far as we know to date, and, eventually, unless we discover something else, it seems that it will end up as simple radiation in a cold, dark nothingness.
Now, that is different from the entropy of human society and has little to do with the bitcoin consensus mechanics. Order a chaos are historically the way humans advance - I dare say progress. As the number of living people increase, there is a permanent increase in entropy, but at the same time there is a permanent increase in units that deliver work. The cohesion, organisation, management and governance of societies decides which factor weights more.
Hi, paxmao, here, you have a very good understanding of entropy. However, in my opinion, the current order of human society is based on the disorder of the entire earth. At present, human beings have not achieved peace with nature, on the contrary, they are built on the basis of continuous destruction of nature. This is why various countries have to reduce their carbon emissions in recent years. The reason why I wrote this article is to show that the essence of consensus is order, which is entropy reduction. Bitcoin has also built an entropy reduction system to make data more orderly. I hope that through the dissemination of some ideas, more people will realize the value of Bitcoin.
We would then be talking about sustainability, up to the point of reaching 100% sustainability - you may call that making peace with nature or reaching a consensus with Earth which sound a bit more New Age and ethereal. That may prove itself quite difficult, carbon emissions are just a tiny part of the equilibrium, yet the aspect that may call more everyone`s attention right now.
I get your point, bitcoin builds order into an otherwise disorderly transaction system. If you think of it, a proof-of-work algo links directly to the need of exerting work to create order. Interesting concept.
