- **Redundant Computation**: Every validator must perform the same computation independently.
- **Consensus Overhead**: Validators need to communicate and agree on the results, which adds extra steps and time.
- **Higher Costs**: Due to the redundancy and additional processes, performing computations on a blockchain is much more expensive than on a PC or cloud computer.

For instance, while a PC can perform a simple addition in a fraction of a second with minimal cost, a blockchain requires multiple validators to do the same computation and agree on the result, leading to higher computational costs and time.

So, while it's decentralized nature offers significant advantages in terms of security and resistance to control but comes at the cost of efficiency and higher computation expenses. As we continue to develop and optimize blockchain technology, we aim to balance these trade-offs and explore its vast potential in various applications.
