   @adamgreenfield Good question. A single BTC transaction uses about 700 kWh according to multiple sources. Average US household uses 700-2000 kWh per month. The network cost of a BTC transaction however seems to be about 0.00005 BTC or $1.37 or 6 kWh. Can any #Crypto bro explain?

     So could you still power the average US home for an entire year with the energy burned in a single #bitcoin transaction? It’s (blessedly) been awhile since I’ve had to dunk on #crypto bros.
