Who owns the reliable information that the network bitcoin uses more than 80% of the countries separately electricity. Bitcoin also multiplied by several times the amount of energy consumed in the last year. Is this really true, who will say? So there are thoughts that bitcoin in a couple of years will be a threat to the energy situation on the planet?

80% of what country's electricity ? bitcoins use to much electricity.

The bitcoin network currently uses as much electricity as Ireland and is set to consume 0.5 per cent of all the worlds electric energy by the end of this year.

One single bitcoin transaction requires as much electricity as the average Dutch household uses in a month.
