      wrong:

      The Bitcoin Core mining can remain profitable
        using up to at least 24 TWh annually. That said, as the periodic
        halvings reduce awards the fees, which are already to high to
        make it useful for commerce, may soon make it problematic for
        investment.
        

        
        Bitcoin Cash is up to 8 times more energy
          efficient and Bitcoin Unlimited blockchains could be >>
          efficient yet.

            Bitcoin. A gambling game only a
                capitalist scumbag would play. Tim May was wrong. Btc
                IS NOT the future. It's a dead end leading to a dead
                planet.
              

                  The bitcoin computer network currently uses as much
                  electricity as Denmark. In 18 months, it will use as
                  much as the entire United States.
