Bitcoin Mining is Gobbling Up the World's Power

Before passing judgement on a system designed to protect data, I would like to offer a few industrial benchmarks to ponder:

  1. Military Industrial Complex
  2. Government Waste
  3. Google & Facebook Data Centers
  4. NSA power use
  5. Disposable batteries

This is a technology in infancy. Before throwing out the baby with the bathwater, perhaps putting a frame of reference to accompany the numbers is needed.
