The electricity required for a single Bitcoin -power a house for month

[Marucya]

In any case, bitkoin will be mined until it is economically profitable to do so. However, if we look at the types of electric power production, recently alternative sources of electricity are widely used for mass use, which are practically inexhaustible. Therefore, you should not worry about electricity.

I get the point, but that's not the fairest representation of the situation. The trend in electricity input has largely been driven by speculation. Once some long term market equilibrium is reached (perhaps years out), the pendulum should swing the other direction. And then FUD will probably be more focused on the down-trending hash rate than electricity input.

they will more  then likely change bitcoin to use less electricity when it becomes a huge issue 

That seems unlikely. I'll be curious to see where we are in a few years, in comparison to the gold minting and banking industries. Both require huge amounts of energy.

it's already an issue. only few chinesse miners can afford to mine.

That problem has less to do with electricity costs than ASIC production costs. There are many geographic locations that are comparable in electricity costs to China, and some percentage of people always have subsidization/free electricity.

All the more reason to use renewable energy. Solar and wind power technology have improve through the years. The two would make mining operations’ less costly.

Studies have shown christmas lights consume more electricity than bitcoin. According to polls only 2% of americans have used bitcoin of crypto. Some mining ops in china utilize hydroelectric power which is both cleaner and cheaper than coal. Russia proposed powering their bitcoin mining via nuclear reactors.

The idea that bitcoin consumes hideous amounts of electricity (in comparison to other things) while being fueled exclusively by environmentally damaging power sources such as coal, is primarily a media contrived view.

Bitcoin is both powered by environmentally clean energy sources and probably doesn't consume more electricity worldwide than personal massagers.
