Currently, bitcoin network consumes 26 TWh a year or 250 kWh per single transaction and is growing at a rate of over 1% daily (according to this website https://digiconomist.net/bitcoin-energy-consumption.)
250 kwh (single transaction!) is now roughly the same to to what an average home/household uses in a month.
Is this really sustainable?
If bitcoin should grow even more, how much power will be used just to run it?
