At 92.8 terawatt hours annualized, bitcoin’s power consumption is slightly ahead of Pakistan’s consumption in 2016, and not wildly away from the Netherlands’ consumption that year. Put a different way, the electricity consumed by minting bitcoin could power all the tea kettles in Britain for 21 years.
Two-thirds of bitcoin production is done out of China. More than half of China’s energy output comes from coal, so the bitcoin production is likely to be particularly dirty.
This crap must be shutdown before burning this planet.

Hard to dispute the environmental effects from such massive electric usage. Whether one wants to believe in global warming or not, coal is nasty either way and is the primary reason China is in a constant haze.
Environment aside, why is China mining 2/3rds of it? I'm sure the CCP has zero money to manipulate the market at all. One of the many reasons to not touch BTC. Can be completely manipulated by the worlds largest countries relatively easy. Decentralized unless you're the CCP mining 2/3rds of coin. People are so easily manipulated. Kind of scary.

The Last Word on Bitcoin’s Energy Consumption
https://www.coindesk.com/the-last-word-on-bitcoins-energy-consumption
"Let’s start with the basics. Many people, when decrying Bitcoin’s energy footprint, point out its energy consumption and presume that someone, somewhere is being deprived of electricity because of this rapacious asset. Not only is this not the case, but Bitcoin’s presence in many jurisdictions doesn’t affect the price of energy at all because the energy there isn’t actually being used. How could this be?"
"The first thing to understand is that energy is not globally fungible. Electricity decays as it leaves its point of origin; it’s expensive to transport. Globally, about 8 percent of electricity is lost in transit. Even high-voltage transmission lines suffer “line losses,” making it impractical to transport electricity over very long distances. This is why we talk about an energy grid — you have to produce it virtually everywhere, especially near to population centers."
"Ultimately it’s just a matter of opinion as to whether the existence of a non-state, synthetic monetary commodity is a good idea. The truth is that blockspace is a service which is paid for, and that’s where its resource cost is derived. Something duly purchased cannot, by definition, be a waste. Its buyer derives benefit from its existence, regardless of anyone else’s subjective opinion of the merit of the transaction."

Why even ask anymore? You know he doesn't have an answer. Dozens of questions and points have been made here and nothing. Crickets besides the same dumb ass charts over and over again.
Multiple people have come into these threads over the last 2 months and we're all met with the same BS responses. Won't even address what I just brought up with why is China doing so much mining. The have slave labor to building mining farms/computers and if it's run by the CCP, they don't have to pay electric. They just take it from their citizens. When China is doing 2/3rds of the mining or anything that should be very alarming to anyone, even if not invested in crypto.

It may or may not be energy efficient to mine it and it may or may not get worse, but people have been mining gold since forever no matter whether the current price justified the time, energy and money to put into mining it. It has intrinsic value as a decentralized form of payment, potentially anonymous and tamper-proof. Yes there are also quite a few drawbacks, but since it has intrinsic value and is limited in supply I don't see how it can be a ponzi scheme. It may well drop from whatever high it will reach and not recover but by then plenty of early adopters will have made plenty of money and those arriving late will be the bagholders, how is this different from investing in any other asset? I really never see it going worthless again let alone drop below 5k though anything is possible. I also don't buy any of those lofty targets of hundreds of 1000s, obviously these promoting firms have a vested self interest to pump it once they jumped in. I can see a range anywhere between $5k-$100k for the short to mid-term (1-2 years), long term who knows.

That's exactly the point.
A lot of work and resources go into mining and refining gold. A gold coin represents that labor and those resources. Once mined you have a shiny, useful, object that will last until inexpensively recycled into something else, maybe jewelry or part of a microchip. You can always find a buyer for your coin. People will continue to find, refine, and desire gold. It is what it is.
A lot of work and resources go into "mining" bitcoin. There really are no coins. There are bits (digital 0's and 1's) on a flashdrive representing an individual's share of the pie. The pie is a ledger that documents each "anonymous " transaction so that all decentralized ledgers agree. Incredibly energy intensive and the whole thing goes away if you pull the plug. You can always sell a bitcoin but if the price is too low the "miners" will only process it at a price, or for a fee.

It has certain qualities if you transact with it that gives it its worth. If gold would lose its desirability for jewelry and bling tomorrow it would still have its raw physical value which is much lower but nonetheless. But even then it depends on others having a use for the raw material similar to others having a use for the bitcoin. I agree that it would be more likely for bitcoin to become worthless than gold but both scenarios are so unlikely that they're on par with the dollar losing all of its value because it is fiat. That will never happen as long as the US exists and is half-way functioning. We're talking about many years if not decades or centuries down the road, so sure bitcoin can become worthless by then or be replaced with something else but it's irrelevant for our current trading and investing outlook, it's just one part of the asset basket mix, a more speculative and volatile than gold or land, but nonetheless a part of it. Just don't hold all of your net worth in a single asset class and you should be fine.

Any of the above. Also inflation hedge and a more anonymous, decentralized way of conducting business. Just because it's (partially) deemed criminal now to evade taxes doesn't mean it will stay that way if enough institutions jump into it and lobby. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of people who currently hide their gains and transactions to save cap gains tax and/or sales/transaction taxes.

He threw a $1 corner bet and won... for now. The problem is he thinks sitting at the casino all night is a good idea instead of taking gains. That's why most gamblers are losers. He's likely 27, got sold on crypto by Uncle Ralph at Christmas 2017 and has been holding dead money until now. Throws up screen shots from accounts that look like they're from a pixelated 1990's computer screen. I mean come on, can't even take some gains and buy a decent PC, Mac or phone?

Other than the criminals that use bitcoin to launder money, there are two types of crypto users, traders and holders.
The "traders" of crypto are hoping they can time the market and sell to a greater fool before the greatest fools are left holding flash drives of bits that nobody wants. They hope to get lucky.
Then there are the holders. The pathetic part about crypto holders is the fact that many of them don't recognize the contradiction of owning the "currency of the future" that will "someday" be worth hundreds of thousand or even millions of dollars per coin. As if when government fiat fails crypto will take over. Some even have holdings in multiple different crypto system "coins". Holders (HODLer's) think they own gold or currency.

When It comes to crypto, how would you define market cap?
For stocks (from Investopedia):
"Market capitalization refers to the total dollar market value of a company's outstanding shares of stock. Commonly referred to as "market cap," it is calculated by multiplying the total number of a company's outstanding shares by the current market price of one share."
the market cap is bigger
