network hashrate is about 650exa on average.. so thats 2.77m asic
so 3510*2.77m =9,749,997,270 tj/s *600= 5,849,998,362,000 to mine a block
so math checks out so far.. BUT (BIG BUT)
a nuke releases the 63TJ in one second.. yet the math of bitcoin is energy used over a period of ~11 blocks (~6432 seconds(~1hour 47mins))
so 33 bitcoin might be same energy as hiroshima, but spaced out over 1hour 47minutes not one second(hiroshima)
or more precisely bitcoin is 6432 times less energy than hiroshima per second
Topic: It takes the same amount of energy released by the Hiroshima bomb to mine 33BTC (Read 18 times)

Most efficient miners used today are similar to Bitmain S21 Pro, it uses 3510 Watts (joules per second) to generate 234 Terahashes per second. At current difficulty it would take one of these miners 54 years to mine a block, or you would need 54 miners to mine a block in 1 year. Multiplied by the wattage it takes 5.9 Terajoules to mine a block, or 1.91 terajoules to mine 1 bitcoin. The bomb in hiroshima released 63 TJ of energy, or about 33 bitcoin
Just an interesting calculation I made that serves no practical purpose but is fun to think about.

In this life, things could happened the way we don't expect, we have to see it as something more of taking a cognizance observation for, whereby in some situations, you will discover that some are using a particular energy they would have invested on something qualitative on what is not of useful to them and others, which also means that, there is more efforts needed in doing what is wrong to doing what is right.

Hmm, Interesting comparison I would say. Never seen someone compare this earlier (Even though if it's 33 BTC today, could be any value before). So you deserve a merit for being this crazy or innovative. On the other hand, I would say this explains the security of Bitcoin Network and no one can manipulate or do any sort of attack on it easily. Kind of a bullish thing I would say
