Peter Brandt, Bitcoin'in “Fahiş Bir Enerji Kullanımı Olmadan Faydasız” Olduğunu Söylüyor

Emekli tüccar Peter Brandt has aimed at Bitcoin’s energy consumption. In response to a tweet made by MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor, who tweeted on July 19: “Bitcoin is a digital commodity because it has no issuer and is secured by energy,” the veteran trader responded that the lead cryptocurrency was “useless without an exorbitant use of energy.”

Sadece aşırı enerji kullanımı olmaksızın faydasız olduğu ve daha sonra ekonomik işlev sağlamadığı anlamında enerji ile güvence altına alınmıştır. Bir şekilde büyük bir efsane $ BTC enerji tüketiminden başka bir şey değildir. https://t.co/9CnvoC0dQT

He wrote: “Secured by energy only in the sense that it is useless without an exorbitant use of energy — and then without providing economic function. It is a huge myth that somehow BTC is anything but energy consumption,” he added.

Bir takip tweetinde, kıdemli tüccar admitted that he owns Bitcoin and accepts most of the current bullish narrative.

Bitcoin sahibiyim ve mevcut yükseliş anlatılarının çoğunu kabul ediyorum
Ancak, bunu varsaymak için bir çıkıntıya çıkıyoruz. $ BTC sonsuza dek insan yaratıcılığının ve başarısının zirvesini temsil edecek ve insanlığın temellerini aşamayacağını pic.twitter.com/dsy3VjKrlB

As tarafından bildirilen U.Bugün, the veteran trader predicted ahead of Bitcoin’s recent bearish action that Bitcoin might not hit a new all-time high until early 2024.

Bitcoin'in enerji tüketimi

Bitcoin has seen harsh criticism from climate activists and environmentalists for the amount of energy that its network needs to operate.

According to June data from the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index, Bitcoin’s estimated annualized power consumption was around 93 TWh. This figure puts the energy use of Bitcoin on par with South Africa but less than that of Argentina and Norway.

However, the energy usage of the lead crypto is still higher than that of Finland. şimdi, this figure stands at 81.65 TWh.

Mining profitability declines as the price of Bitcoin falls. As a result, less productive miners are dissuaded from being online, potentially resulting in decreased power usage and hashrate. According to reports, Bitcoin’s energy usage decreased by 25% over the past month as its price fell to a low of around $17,500 in the middle of June.
