Citing the figures I used to get to this stat: Cambridge BTC Index’s avg March data (132.07 Terrawatt hour annualized) / 365 = 0.362 TWh (daily avg energy). With March’s avg number of txns/day (301,359), you get 0.000001201 TWh (avg energy/txn). 2/4 https://t.co/8bD6YeCHCC
Using 0.49 Megatonne CO2 /TWh (Stoll’s estimate - weighted avg carbon intensity is 0.48 - 0.5 CO2 Mt /TWh) --> 0.000000588 Mt CO2/txn. EPA shows 112523894 gallons of gas produces 1 Mt CO2, so ~70 gallons of gas is emitted from 0.000000588 Mt of CO2. 3/4 https://t.co/jE2mNY29KG
We have the tools to make crypto 100% renewable AND reach its full potential. Let’s focus on the solutions to change the opinion of Janet Yellen, Bill Gates, and countless others who have pointed out concerns about energy usage instead of accusing me of FUD… 4/4
Guess I touched a nerve! My comment was about how many gallons of gas emit the same amount of CO2 as a BTC txn (could’ve been more clear in the clip). First off, I’m DEFINITELY not saying ban BTC! I’m saying we, collectively, can and should understand PoW’s carbon footprint. 1/4
@ishisphere@xxmikecheckxx@XRPIsaac@RationalMale There's no need for courtship anymore, open hypergamy reigns in Gynocracy. Traditional values dictates to respect a man and admire his ability to lead with logic not with emotions.
@xxmikecheckxx@ishisphere@XRPIsaac@RationalMale Modern women or western women, cannot pair bond in long term relationships the higher the body count the higher the risk of infidelity. Modern women do not need financial security nor physical protection from traditional men anymore... They are strong and independent.
