If it is true it is definitely the issue which needs attention.
But I also want to add that with the passage of time we are witnessing more and more technical inventions. One very big so fatty television was common in our rooms few years back; which was consuming very much electricity but now we are having LED televisions which are very cheap. So with progress and development I think this issue will also be solved. One other solution is using renewable natural energy instead of petro coal atom energy. We will have to divert to wind and solar energy to save our planet. Title: Re: How about an environmentally-friend crypto?

They also do not compare the total usage of our competitors <VISA/PayPal/Banks/WU/MoneyGram> If you calculate the electricity usage for all their offices, it would be much more than the electricity spend on Bitcoin. |
