Mining Bitcoin Uses More Energy Than Mining Gold
.
https://www.pri.org/stories/2018-11-...gy-mining-gold "They found bitcoin mining requires more energy per dollar than mining copper and platinum but considerably less than mining aluminum." “For bitcoin, I think the situation is actually slightly grim,” Malone said. “I think the only thing that will reduce the energy usage of bitcoin itself in the near future is likely to be a crash in value of bitcoin or something like that.” .

This is an absolutely pointless technology |
