that market cap is a dumb metric to use to dictate protocol specifications

wtf are you even talking about? What protocol specs? Who’s dictating what?

the specifications of the bitcoin protocol require proof of work. using the market cap to dictate what the protocol specification should be is absurd.

and who’s proposing that? I picked the top in market cap to illustrate what most relevant coins are doing because most of them are irrelevant shitcoins.

seems like you undrestand that market cap is irrelevant to the protocol design.
