Perhaps that's the core developers' goal.

What they are trying to deliver and what they are actually delivering are two wildly different things. They've built a platform that destroys the environment faster than the entire banking sector, enables scams and ponzi schemes at unprecedented scale and anonymity, meanwhile delivering a whopping transaction throughput of around 20/s - enough to support a few moderately busy supermarkets in a single small city.

With all due respect none of those things are true. I understand that you passionately believe them, but they are not true. You should try to understand how this works and why people would be interested.

It's very easy for you to check the TPS and power consumption of Bitcoin. If anything I've overestimated the transaction rate.
