Here is an interesting chart - "Value transacted per energy mined"

Seems like bitcoin bottoms out around ~$50-75,000 USD transferred for every 1 Megawatt-hour used in mining.

Currently Bitcoin is transferred ~$140,000 USD / MWh.

ULTRA ENERGY EFFICIENT
h/t @Excellion and @nvk for inspiring the chart idea.

Consider this: $20 / MWh is considered super cheap in the power generation industry. Many utilities closer to $50 USD / MWh.

Right now it costs $50 in energy to transfer $138,000 USD !?

🤯🤯🤯
Feel free to CC all the annoying twerps in the comments below who cite the energy burned per transaction metric.

Try VALUE per SECOND
Try VALUE per unit ENERGY

TRY ***HARDER***, FOOLS
Interesting how bitcoin becomes more efficient during bull runs, less efficient during bear markets.

Interesting how there seems to be a floor for value per energy consumed, will be interesting to observe this over the next decade.
What are your thoughts @davidgerard? How does your precious fiat compare?
