Would be interested to hear what the point of view is on a recent increase in press statements as follows: ‘Bitcoin may soon consume more power than Australia’— almost 10 times more than Google, Microsoft and Facebook combined.
Is there anything behind this or is it just another angle of attack against bitcoin prompted by remarks by Bill Gates?.....is it even possible to calculate consumption in this way?
That is possible cause these guys have been putting the word "Bitcoin" to gather some readers about their baseless theories. Since everyone is curious about cryptocurrencies now and the main category is Bitcoin, they wanted some share about it and this is why they creating such propaganda to lure people with some strange belief. There's no way Bitcoin mining will be the cause of some power shortage this is all hoax and the one that made this claim might be some sort of person who doesn't have enough knowledge to conclude some research such as this one.
