Bitcoin will not destroy the world, because I think bitcoin is helping the economy for the country in need, bitcoin does not make the country bankrupt, bitcoin even help us from the difficulty of our financial situation at this time.

World is very nearly of being obliterated. Bitcoin will fuel it to make it living once more.
We are so blamed by the legislature with a few assessments and numerous different things. Be that as it may, bitcoin, because of it's decentralization, we are allowed to investigate where we need and when we need.
So Bitcoin will help us to make wanted move to grow up our life.

People can not blame completely for bitcoin. This is because human greed has destroyed our environment. There are many different ways that we can replace oil to generate energy to exploit bitcoin. These are clean energy sources that do not pollute the environment like wind energy, solar energy ...

World is on the verge of of being destroyed. Bitcoin will fuel it to make it living again.
We are so accused by the government with several taxes and many other things. But bitcoin, due to it's decentralization, we are free to explore where we want and when we want.
So Bitcoin will help us to take desired action to grow up our life.

For me it cannot destroy the world, it gives better in our economy especially to those people who need extra income, even though time and long transactions will undergo it can also give us new beginning in our life way to success.

To be honest, I never thought about it. Of course these are impressive figures. But if you look deeper into it, one thing becomes clear. How much electricity is consumed by banks and their branches or terminals?  I think this figure will be no less than for bitcoin transactions. Moreover, alternative energy sources are becoming more popular in the world. Therefore, all these figures are relative.

Why would bitcoin destroy the world? They are helping people to control their own currency without paying bank a hefty fees. So in that case bitcoin actually helping the world and will continue to do so.

It is the people who is the virus of the world and you cannot stop that. You need to kill them all if you want a better environment.
Bitcoin mining or vehicles it will still be the same.
You do not need to compare it with other shit that use oil.
Good thing bitcoin have a limit of supply so no worries, somehow it will end.

Each bitcoin transaction costs 215 kilowatt-hours of energy??

Honestly, I have no idea where these numbers came from,
I would say 2 watt per transaction (not kw).
But if you are so environmentally sensitive person,
why don't you take a closer look,
of how much electricity is being consumed by the banks on a global scale.
There are 90.000 branches with average branch size of 5,000 square feet. This is just the U.S.
A branch is made of concrete and steel and consumes not only Electricity, but Gas and other materials as well.

Bitcoin is the most energy efficient transaction system ever.


I totally agree,  banks are operating for 8-10 hours per day that means they are consuming more electricity plus the waste coming from those papers and such. Moreover,  there are more than enough banks in the world that is using electricity and other office equipment. So technically,  bitcoin is using lesser amount of electricity compared to other modes of payment plus it doesn't need alot of papers when making transactions. With that we cannot conclude that bitcoin could destroy the world.

Bitcoin does not destroy the world. Encryption may help the world in the future. We all know that most of the energy in the world can't be regenerated. People have been criticised for exploiting bitcoin to consume too much power, but what we need to note is that most of the bitcoin is consumed in remote areas, and in the next few decades it is believed that more alternative energy is used by the Association and the sun. Both energy and wind are a good choice.

I think I’ll stick with my hypothesis that bitcoin, and its correlative phenomenon, blockchain, are really an advanced Bond villain plot to crash the world’s markets somehow.
No it's not true, bitcoin cannot be the reason to destroy the world in fact it helps many people to have a better life.

Bitcoin mining is based on very high energy costs and environmental costs.

One bitcoin =20 barrels of oil.


How many barrels of oil do you think the industry consumes every year?


10 barrels? 50 barrel?

Each year, the mining industry consumes more than 24 terawatts of energy, the equivalent of 13,239,916 barrels of oil.

Every 10 minutes, 12.5 bitcoins are dug up, meaning 20 barrels of crude oil have been reached since each bitcoin was dug up (not yet traded).

In other words, the amount of energy consumed by the global bitcoin mining campaign is 40 times greater than the amount of energy needed to support the Visa card network.


One bitcoin transaction = one American family USES electricity a week.

According to encrypt the currency analyst Alex DE Vries estimate an index, the currency trading energy consumed each year more than 24 tw, this is equivalent to total energy consumed each year in Nigeria, which has a population of 186 million.


Currently, about 300,000 bitcoins are traded each day. Each bitcoin transaction costs 215 kilowatt-hours of energy.

The average American household USES about 901 kilowatt-hours of electricity a month, which means that each bitcoin exchange consumes enough energy to make an American family comfortable for a week.

What do you think about the energy consumption of bitcoin?
Where is the source of this information?  Where do these numbers come out?  I mean,  is this even reliable? But for the question if bitcoin will destroy the world,  absolutely not! If you are talking about the electricity consumption,  I think those who are in bitcoin min in ng,  they are just a little amount compare to the worldwide consumption.  It is not felt by electricity producers. So not.

Is this really a question?  Absolutely not!  If you are talking about the energy consumed by the mining industry,  I think it wouldn't. Bitcoin mining consumes an amount that is not even felt by those energy producing companies like those who produces oil barrel because it is just a percent of those who uses energy worldwide.  And if you are talking about greed,  bitcoin is not the problem and not the root of all problems,  it is the person who have this feeling or those greedy persons.

If all of the things you have said is true then it would be a real question and also a big problem to look for. But I don't think that it would sum upto that numbers you have stated.
