Bitcoin’s energy consumption is staggering, with mining operations devouring 173.42 TWh of electricity annually—on par with Pakistan’s total energy use! 🚨
The majority of this power comes from fossil fuels, with coal (45%) and natural gas (21%) dominating the mix. This reliance on non-renewables fuels massive CO2 emissions (~65 million tons/year)—comparable to an entire country like Greece. 🌍💨
Beyond carbon emissions, Bitcoin mining is also a water-intensive industry, consuming 1.65 km³ of water annually, enough to sustain 300M+ people in rural Africa. Meanwhile, the e-waste from discarded mining hardware rivals the IT waste output of the Netherlands. ♻️
As Bitcoin adoption grows, so does its environmental burden. The industry must pivot toward sustainable mining solutions—because financial freedom shouldn't come at the cost of our planet. 🌱💰
