The truth about Bitcoin's energy use

[@PastelSocks69]

How does this channel not have more views? This is the only time I’ve heard this thoroughly explained. Thanks

well made video

[@LucasSuarez]

Great video and excelent presenter, really enjoyed it. However, I have to say that 'proof of work' was not designed for energy efficiency but to provide strong security to the network (energy consuption is a tradeof), so far that level of security makes the network realiable/trustful to act as a decentralise alternative to the actual corrupt monetary system. As you mentioned, bitcoin energy consuption at this time may be a enviorimentally bad (or good) thing but there is a growing trend of bitcoin mining using green energy, which is very promissing. We'll see what the future holds in this regard, but looking at bitcoin as 'digital energy' opens up new opportunities (ie; energy portability...), could reduce corruption, and potentially could be deflatory for the price of energy. Will see how it goes... this is just a diferent angle.

Great explanation! By the way, OKX Wallet is not letting me transfer USDT due to a 'transaction requires more gas' error. Any help? Wallet phrase: notice leisure umbrella over east select damage pink devote drip federal august

Top quality shit

[@mv03dl100]

Nice video, very underrated channel. You could've also highlighted how much energy is consumed by fiat currency and how the numerous server parks banks use globally to have a financial ledger use wayyyy more energy totally, while being less secure (bank can somehow loose your money in a transfer while a btc transaction is highly unlikely to fail)

[@Dakrontik]

Given that fiat currency is centralized, while bitcoin is decentralized, it is highly unlikely that fiat would require more energy to process and keep track of. Just by the way the transaction processing works, having 10 people do the job vs 1 person with specialized equipment, the costs and power required will be significantly higher for a decentralized network. You are definitely right that It would make for some interesting information to show in comparison to bitcoin.

[@peterson6824]

I stopped at 0:28 cuz guy doesn't know what he's talking about. That's NOT what "decentralized" means; bitcoin does NOT avoid govt surveillance...it's not a privacy coin. Decentralized means no center (or person or govt) controls it.

It's a better option is to invest your money in bonds and stocks. If bitcoin crashes again, it could land you in debt.

As a drug-lord I value Bitcoin highly. So much easier to laundry money with it.

Everything is traceable on bitcoin network, you need to use monreno

Well played!

Still sounds like a pozi scheme somehow. No thanks.

Nothing in this video even touched the aspects of bitcoin which could be sound like a ponzi
