How Scaled PoW Actually Works

The claim that "PoW doesn't scale" stems from observing artificially constrained implementations, not the protocol's actual capabilities. This course moves beyond theoretical debates to examine how scaled PoW operates in practice. You'll explore the fundamental principle that makes PoW uniquely efficient at scale—the economy of scale effect where per-transaction energy costs decrease as throughput increases. Through accessible analogies, independent research validation, and real-world performance data from BSV blockchain, this course demonstrates that PoW scales dramatically when artificial limitations are removed, achieving transaction throughput and energy efficiency that rival or exceed any alternative consensus mechanism.
