If you do 12 Bitcoin transactions per year, you use a higher amount of energy than we use for a complete family (including: heating, warm water, electricity, car charging) in the same year. We do all via electricity.

I just read that a single Bitcoin transaction requires upwards of 1,000 kW-hr of electricity. That’s like running a small air conditioner 24/7 for a month and a half. Edit: This got way more attention than I expected from an offhand remark; I guess it hit a nerve on here! But I’m going to have to mute this, as it’s taken over my notifications...

@masek @tkinias Shitcoin needs to die. I really hope that cryptocurrencies like this will just suddenly break. I won't shed a single tear for anyone who loses investments if it is based on this absolute crapshow, and all those cryptobro shops and outlets can also go eff themselves, that real estate can surely be used in a better way. And all those annoying ads would go away, ... that'd be heavenly. HEAVENLY I SAY!
