Original Note:
The "8% of global electricity" claim is factually incorrect. Bitcoin uses 145.67 TWh per year. https://ccaf.io/cbnsi/cbeci Global electricity use is 29,479 Twh per year https://ourworldindata.org/electricity-mix This is 0.49% of global electricity A Cornell study also showed that Bitcoin's energy use could help the renewable transition https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acssuschemeng.3c05445
