Several experts, environmentalists and people around the globe are concerned about how Bitcoin mining is affecting the environment. It is believed that mining the crowned crypto asset can take as much power as providing electricity to a nation like Argentina. But facts from a recent survey tells a different story.
As per a survey conducted by Bitcoin Mining Council. The digital asset is 59.5% sustainable. The survey primarily focused over the power consumption and tech efficiency of the crowned cryptocurrency. BMC gathered this data from 50.5% of the entire Bitcoin network, which eventually concluded that the coin is sustainable.
According to the report, the participants indicate 68.9% of the power mix, which eventually shows that the entire BTC network holds around 59.5% of the power mix. A year to year rise from second quarter 2021 to 2nd quarter 2022. This concluded that Bitcoin mining is among the most sustainable industries across the globe.
As per the words of crypto whale and MicroStrategy founder, Michael Saylor, “BTC security and hashrate has improved by 137%, but the energy consumption was up by only 63% on an year to year basis. Energy efficiency has increased by 46%, thanks to advanced semiconductors.” In the words of Darin Feinstein, “Bitcoin exa hash has escalated from 37 EH to 108 EH in the second quarter this year.
The Bitcoin Mining Council was founded by Micahel Saylor and Darin Feinstein in May previous year, and represents more than half of the entire Bitcoin network. It has members in 5 continents, as per Darin. He says that the world needs to know the hidden reality behind power consumption as well as the carbon emissions of Bitcoin.
