Bitcoin mining is an energy arbitrage.
Historically, #bitcoin miners using the most efficient machine available have earned between $0.08 and $0.5 per kWh.
We often compare #BTC mining to entire countries in terms of energy consumption. Yet, it looks meagre next to other industries.
For example, it is slightly above holiday lights or computer games and amounts to around half of the gold #mining.

BTC mining requires energy but let's put it into presepctive.
If we compare #BTC mining's #energy consumption to the rest of the world (165,317 TWh), it only amounts to 0.16% of the total world energy (266 TWh).

The public miners are still dumping their #bitcoin holdings, but not nearly to the same extent as during the mining bloodbath earlier this summer.
They "only" sold 6,200 BTC in July, less than half the amount they sold the previous month.
The #Bitcoin Mining council has reported a significant rise in the use of #renewableenergy since the China ban.
In this story, climate tech experts explain how Bitcoin #mining might be even greener than we thought.

🛒. As the market remains uncertain, many unprofitable miners are selling their machines, making them as cheap as they were in 2020.
⭐ Though it is a crisis for some miners, it provides a great point of entry for others!
