Bitcoin Footprint
On this page, you find some key figures about the Bitcoin blockchain electricity consumption. In order to make it easier to comprehend, we have used real life examples such as Tesla Kilometers (1 Mile is around 1.6 Km, for our American friends). All data is calculated into Kilowatt-hours (KWh) and compared and calculated against real life values such as Tesla Km. If you want to learn more and find out how this is calculated visit Bitcoin and Electricity. All data is indicative.
