Transaction cost in kWh

[MasterMaA]

What is the conclusion?
Is BTC's cost per transaction high?

Just wanted to make the point that transaction cost isn't measured in kWh, it's measured in plain kW since there is a finite amount of time it takes a transaction to be mined.

This is the exact reason why it is measured in kWh (energy) and not kW (power).

It takes an amount of Energy to mine a block, not Power. Power is not descriptive as you could have 1kW running for 10 minutes or 10kW running for 1 minute and you would have the same result.

How could Power (kW) be used to measure the transaction fee? Could you explain what you meant?

Ignore me, I'm talking rubbish in this case. Yes, you are correct, kWh is the right unit.

its obvious that the transaction cost is swallowed up by the miner who is actually paying the elecy bill for doing the mining. so this transaction cost is actually simply converted from elecy $ to BTC as a reward. its just conversion of wealth. buyer/seller of bitcoins dont lose anything. ether way - think of all the banks, printing machines, infrastructure that is out there to support fiat currencies. crypto wins in any case.

Correct.
In no way is this to be confused with the Transaction fee that a user may pay for sending Bitcoins.

We are probably over secure at this point in time but the infrastructure is in place for the network to grow 10x in transaction size which existing mining infrastructure.

The problem is, we can rapidly pass 10x and goto 100x or 1000x before the network is ready
