Isn't it odd they compared bitcoin taking as much electricity as the whole country of Argentina to mine it?
Under what time frame?
What I know is that miners pay for the electricity they are using and this will contribute to electricity sectors to produce more electricity, some people do complain about this because they think most electricity produces carbon dioxide leading to green house gases, but it is evident that more than 75% miners make use of renewable energy while the use of wind and solar as being increasing. People do not like to face the fact, there are many companies producing this global warming gases, which they do not talk more about unlike bitcoin, the cars people are using, the power plants industries and the rate of bush burning and deforestation all contributing to global warming. I do not think that should be the talk, but miners are moving towards renewable energy production which makes bitcoin mining not hazardous as people think.

Also in the video is about bitcoin as a form of ponzi, that is one of the useless information about bitcoin by critics, can ponzi survive for years if it is ponzi, when all population has being reached, no new investors will come in into ponzi scheme, and the old investors will gain while the new ones will not have new ones to pay for them to earn, thereby the new investors will lose, this will result to the collapse of the ponzi scheme, bitcoin has been existing for ten years now, and will still exists for decade or even centuries, that makes bitcoin different from ponzi, ponzi can never survive for long while bitcoin has survived for long because it is not a ponzi.

you can find more "debuking" information in this thread created by @fillippone.

However I like their documentary and the way they are using to narrate a story.
But talking about bitcoin from a "past" perspective or just taking as comparison other assets has been just a fail and time wasting....

The electricity consumption is a too powerful image to narrate Bitcoin to pretend the “casual” reporters don’t fall from it.
The point is that kind of  impariamo is meaningless for a lot of reasons, and anyone pretending to know something about bitcoin, should know how to debunk it.
This is why I created the above thread.

sorry didn't watch the video. but reading the comments in the comment section it seems that they are set on BTC fud and pushing their own agenda(very typical). anyway, I found this article regarding the electric usage of bitcoin VS Argentina and it says here that "bitcoin uses more electricity annually than the whole of Argentina". so it is in the 1-year time frame.

The criticisms against bitcoin made by bloomberg since it has reached well past $60k per coin recently.
So you just knew the big news media outlets were going to put up their views on how is it possible for something they all dismissed as a just a fad several years ago when it rose then dumped in pretty short succession.
But this time it has held strong being very stable just above $57k in it's second huge bull run.

A comment I liked from this tweet:

Unfortunately an uneducated video. Especially the Visa comment. Visa is not analogous to Bitcoin. Visa does not provide final settlement.

Post your comments on this argument they have put forth against the cryptocurrency that is taking over the world.
