Bitcoin Is the ‘Cleanest Industrial Use of Electricity,’ Says BTC Firebrand Michael Saylor
Polémico Bitcoin firebrand Michael Saylor claims Bitcoin (BTC) é o "uso industrial máis eficiente e limpo da electricidade".
O presidente executivo de MicroStrategy di nun novo blogue that his firm’s metrics indicate about 59.5% of energy for Bitcoin mining comes from sustainable sources.
Saylor also notes that Bitcoin mining’s energy efficiency improved by 46% year-on-year.
“No other industry comes close (consider planes, trains, automobiles, healthcare, banking, construction, precious metals, etc.). The Bitcoin network keeps getting more energy efficient because of the relentless improvement in the semiconductors (SHA-256 ASICs) that power the bitcoin mining centers, combined with the halving of Bitcoin mining rewards every four years that is built into the protocol. This results in a consistent 18-36% improvement year after year in energy efficiency.”
Saylor says $4-5 billion in electricity powers a Bitcoin network worth $420 billion.
“The value of the output is 100x the cost of the energy input. This makes Bitcoin far less energy intensive than Google, Netflix, or Facebook, and 1-2 orders of magnitude less energy intensive than traditional 20th-century industries like airlines, logistics, retail, hospitality, & agriculture.”
O executivo de MicroStrategy tamén ten como obxectivo as redes de proba de participación.
“Regulators & legal experts have noted on many occasions that proof of stake (PoS) networks are likely securities, not commodities, and we can expect them to be treated as such over time. PoS Crypto Securities may be appropriate for certain applications, but they are not suitable to serve as global, open, fair money or a global open settlement network. Therefore, it makes no sense to compare proof of stake networks to Bitcoin. "
O mes pasado, Saylor abandonou o cargo de CEO de MicroStrategy, unha medida que o executivo di que non tiña nada que ver coa compañía de software que publicase case 1 millóns de dólares en perdas de BTC durante o segundo trimestre do ano.
A finais de agosto, o fiscal xeral de Washington DC, Karl A. Racine anunciado that he’s suing the Bitcoin maximalist because he’s lived in Washington, D.C. for over 10 years but has never paid any taxes.
