If someone discovers a free, unlimited energy source, launching a 51% attack would be just a matter of seconds. And that is exactly what has happened. There is a sacred rock located in Ranmasu Uyana, Sri Lanka. You can check here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranmasu_Uyana This rock is said to have the oldest carving in the world. Older than the pyramids. What is interesting about this rock is that it emits energy. Precisely, unlimited, free energy. This place is referred to as a Stargate. You can use an EMF detector and check the electromotive force emitted by this rock. An EMF detector is used to measure the electrical action produced by a non-electrical source. EMF detector will show even very small changes in energies. And if you take an EMF detector and measure the electromotive force produced by this rock, you can see that the EMF meter's needle immediately goes all the way to the other side, which means, there is very high energy emitted from this rock. Potentially unlimited and free energy. You can check the video here: https://youtu.be/B-W-nQOQdq8This rock is guarded by a fence to protect people from the energy it emits. EMF detectors usually only show up to 5 Milligauss, but this rock emits a much higher level of magnetic flux. Potentially unlimited. A Stargate in simplest terms is a gate to the stars. And there is an infinite number of stars in the ever expanding universe. This rock (star gate) emits energy. Precisely, unlimited, free energy. With the right resources, anyone can easily utilize this unlimited energy to launch a 51% attack on the Bitcoin network. The cost of launching such attack would be incredibly low. The energy emitted from this rock can be easily converted to electrical energy with the right resources. Discovering an unlimited energy source is a breakthrough. A breakthrough like that would have a lot of ramifications; not only to Bitcoin network but also to every human being on planet earth. But, my focus is only on Bitcoin. If anyone properly utilizes unlimited, free energy, he/she can easily launch a 51% attack on all PoW coins with very little cost. This sacred rock is just one way of tapping into unlimited energy. There are so many other inventions and discoveries that can generate unlimited energy for very little cost and resources. All these discoveries are hidden from the public by the powers that be. And this is the biggest threat to Bitcoin and other PoW coins. The Solution PoW is a failure. PoS is a better system. With Ethereum 2.0, Ethereum is slowing moving to PoS. The threat of someone having massive amount of electrical power is eliminated in a PoS system. As soon as the news breaks out, Bitcoin price will plummet. PoS and Ethereum 2.0 is the future.

If someone discovers a free energy source, then miners will flock to use it, and that will make a 51% attack impossible.
There are lots of "free" energy sources such as solar, wind and tide, and yet Bitcoin is still secure and strong.

As if someone can utilize that holy rock if ever your unlimited energy source was true. Do you think government will let an individual or a private company take and use it for there own service? They will rather use it in other important matter rather than attack the bitcoin network.

Bitcoin mining relies only on electrical energy source, there can be free energy sorcees but these energies have to be converted to electrical which will take processes that will require money. And if it requires no money, it has nothing on bitcoin blockchain as it will be used to still defend it by people that mines, it will only be the best alternatives than wasting money on electricity payments but yet individuals will still have their mining hardwares running at low cost to generate more hash rates that will protect bitcoin blockchain. With the right resources, anyone can easily utilize this unlimited energy to launch a 51% attack on the Bitcoin network. The cost of launching such attack would be incredibly low.
You are completely wrong, bitcoin blockchain is the strongest and now obvious in a way it is not vulnerable to 51% attack and the hashes generated is still increasing and making the blockchain stronger. PoW is a failure. PoS is a better system. With Ethereum 2.0, Ethereum is slowing moving to PoS. The threat of someone having massive amount of electrical power is eliminated in a PoS system. As soon as the news breaks out, Bitcoin price will plummet. PoS and Ethereum 2.0 is the future.
You have no point to proof and you know nothing about 51% attack. Are you comparing Ethereum 2.0 to bitcoin PoW, bitcoin blockchain is much more and more stronger than ethereum blockchain. Ethereum 2.0 PoS can be good, but it is proof of stupidity if you are comparing it to PoW. Bitcoin blockchain is also the strongest of all. Bitcoin blockchain remains strongest not because miners pay for electricity, it is because they mine to make profit while it happened in a way attackers already know bitcoin blockchain can not be compromised as the attackers hashes are not significant to what legit miners are generating.

If someone discovers a free, unlimited energy source, launching a 51% attack would be just a matter of seconds. And that is exactly what has happened. Free energy source alone can't help! It will only be possible if some billionaire can gather enough ASICs to generate 51% of total mining power! That's an investment of few billion dollars. So good luck with that! POS is more user friendly I would say because you wouldn't need to go through all those mining rig setups. You just need to buy some pre specified amount of coins and stake it through a pool or an eligible wallet. So it makes the process easy for all! Also it doesn't need to use electricity so it is more environmental friendly as well. But your concept of 51% attack is flawed!

OP, if someone "discovered" an unlimited resource of free energy, the sun?, and harness it, he would be murdered by the cartel of largest oil producers in the world, a cartel of electricity providers in the world, and other groups/cartels that don't want change in the current "order" of the system. BUT, let's pretend, "someone" was allowed to "wield" that power, do you actually believe an attack on Bitcoin would be first in his/her list of "to-dos"? What about space-travel? Deep sea exploration? Or WAR? --Snip--
The Solution
PoW is a failure. PoS is a better system. With Ethereum 2.0, Ethereum is slowing moving to PoS. The threat of someone having massive amount of electrical power is eliminated in a PoS system. As soon as the news breaks out, Bitcoin price will plummet. PoS and Ethereum 2.0 is the future.

I don't know. Something about this doesn't sit right with me. I just don't find 'bitcoin is vulnerable because sacred rock' to be a convincing argument. Our route to limitless free energy is probably commercial fusion reactors, which always seem to be about 50 years away from viability. Perhaps we'll get there one day, but even so it would be a steady flow of free energy with some maximum finite throughput, rather than the instant availability of infinity.

Apart from that "sacred rock" can't be an unlimited energy source, you missed a more important point here, imo. Check out this video, Andreas Antonopoulos - 51% Bitcoin Attack , to see that a 51% attack isn't actually a threat to Bitcoin network. Watch that video, it's only a bit longer than 2 minutes, yet it can make you much more knowledgeable in the field you are trying to write about.

PoS can be convenient but not better and not the best. PoW is the best in my opinion. People are working in electricity companies, which means they are employed, the more electricity people use the more gain for the electricity companies and the more likely their workers will increase. Bitcoin is not about the usage of electricity, bitcoin mining makes miners to let electricity companies to generate more electricity as they use it and gain and pay electricity payment which can lead to electricity companies development. But how can the PoS improve the power (electricity) sector? It can not. Also, how about companies producing miners, PoW helps in the development of companies producing miners and other mining equipments, which PoS is otherwise. PoS is truly easy to setup but POW brings more development to the community.

This sacred rock is just one way of tapping into unlimited energy... And this is the biggest threat to Bitcoin and other PoW coins.
There's some naïve humor in this. I mean, seriously? You do think that this sacred rock is a threat to Bitcoin? I've read that the people in Sri Lanka has good access to electricity but it has not yet reached 100%. [1] And how many households does this rock actually provide free electricity to? I guess none. So before we talk of this rock threatening PoW coins, let's first consider its better and more immediate use. Well, other than this rock, we actually have unlimited energy sources. We'll never run out of the sun's heat, for example. Neither will our wind get exhausted. We also have unlimited atoms for fission and fusion. And so far, Bitcoin has never been threatened by all this. [1] https://ourworldindata.org/energy/country/sri-lanka?country=~LKA

EMF detectors usually only show up to 5 Milligauss, but this rock emits a much higher level of magnetic flux. 5mG when measuring what? Ever hear of a loadstone? They are fairly strongly magnetic - way more than 5mG. For reference, a refrigerator magnet is 100 gauss - and that is a STRONG refrigerator magnet. The typical strength of the Earth's magnetic field at its surface is around a half a gauss. Gauss is a measurement of magnetic field strength with zero regard to a voltage field so wrong again...

There's no such thing as "free energy".Even wind and solar energy aren't free,because you will have to invest in technology and equipment. If this rock in Sri Lanka was utilized for electricity production a long time ago,the people in Sri Lanka wouldn't have to pay for electricity. Trying to hijack the blockchain by a 51% attack is pointless,because it will crash the Bitcoin price,so the attacker will NOT get any profit,even if the attack is successful.If the 51% attack fails,it would be just a waste of money and resources.

I start reading about free and unlimited energy source. I keep reading that fairy tale. Then, out of the blue, an alien appears from the sky! He shouts loudly, "Ethereum 3.0 will save us!". OP, you shouldn't believe whatever you read on the internet. The internet is the ocean of fake news. With the right resources, anyone can easily utilize this unlimited energy to launch a 51% attack on the Bitcoin network. The cost of launching such attack would be incredibly low. How? How would it be incredibly low, can you explain that to me? The rock knows how to do SHA256 hashes too or you'll need some millions of ASICS miners? As soon as the news breaks out, Bitcoin price will plummet. PoS and Ethereum 2.0 is the future. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FQyZso.gif&t=665&c=ay-8hzpuR_CRKg)

So before we talk of this rock threatening PoW coins, let's first consider its better and more immediate use. Well, other than this rock, we actually have unlimited energy sources. We'll never run out of the sun's heat, for example. Neither will our wind get exhausted. We also have unlimited atoms for fission and fusion. And so far, Bitcoin has never been threatened by all this. [1] https://ourworldindata.org/energy/country/sri-lanka?country=~LKAYes we have unlimited energy. We have the sun, the wind, the ocean, plants, atoms. These are all unlimited energy sources. However, harnessing energy from these sources is very expensive. The threat is not unlimited, free energy. The threat is if someone finds a way to utilize unlimited energy for very little cost. Look up Nikola Tesla - Limitless Energy

Magnetic fields can create electric fields. In fact, every time you change a magnetic field, you create an electric field. This is called Faraday's Law of Induction. You might want to look that up. You are ignoring what is stated in the 1st paragraph of the link: predicting how a magnetic field will interact with an electric circuit. When the changing magnetic field crosses a conductive medium be it wire, ionized gas, and even water it induces a flow of current in the conductor - provided there is a circuit allowing power to flow from point-A to point-B. A changing magnetic field by itself does NOT create an electric field. When placed in a changing magnetic field a straight piece of copper wire with nothing connecting the ends together will not have an 'electric field'. The potential for one is there as the electrons are wanting to move one direction or another but with no circuit to carry them no energy is transferred. This of course ignores internal losses in the wire caused by eddy currents. I was really hoping you would not try the Nikola Tesla 'free energy' card as that rather closes any hope of using Reason to discuss this. Yes he was brilliant but nonetheless, regarding some of his ideas - also a loon ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

This is insane, an unlimited source of energy is far fetch. If I am right the moment they discovered such a thing it would be destroyed. In our current situation, self interest are likely to happen than utilize it for the greater good. They won't get enough profit if they leave that way so it's better they keep it for themselves or destroy it.

If someone discovers a free, unlimited energy source, launching a 51% attack would be just a matter of seconds. And that is exactly what has happened.
Lol If someone discovers a free and unlimited energy source the world as we know will cease to exist. The whole world will change, and many things that we don't even dream of will be possible (like sci-fi movies). Bitcoin and PoW would be the least of our problems., and would possibly be a solution. The Solution
PoW is a failure. PoS is a better system. With Ethereum 2.0, Ethereum is slowing moving to PoS. The threat of someone having massive amount of electrical power is eliminated in a PoS system. As soon as the news breaks out, Bitcoin price will plummet. PoS and Ethereum 2.0 is the future.
PoS was not even tested in a decent blockchain. Ethereum is struggling to get a few blocks minted with PoS. There are many problems with it, such as centralization and economic issues. There are also many unkown future issues. pow has been tested in bitcoin for 12 years, with 100% success.
