New Research Shows That Bitcoin Mining Is Actually Green

The new research shows that everything we already knew about Bitcoin mining can be wrong and we are about to found out further in the Bitcoin latest news below with the help of the bitcoin blog CoinDCA.

Bitcoin mining uses almost as much electricity as Austria per year according to the data by Digicomist.com but now the new research shows that this might be untrue. The reports from CoinDCA Bitcoin Blog explain that BTC mining is actually quite eco-friendly and the main reason for that is the main source of power which is hydroelectric energy.

The 24/7 mining activity is always ready to absorb the excess power as the blog explains:

‘’The variable output means renewable suppliers have pay or a lot of wasted capacity. Nobody wants to buy your extra gigawatts at two in the morning. Nobody, that is, except bitcoin miners. Bitcoin mining fixes this problem for renewables by always being willing to buy cheap power, regardless of the time of day. No other industry has this property.’’

Mining is now back at 102 EH/s and a few days after posting a high of above 110 quintillion transactions per second, the level of activity remains unprecedented. According to the experts, the new shipments of the S17 series, the mining process maybe even more efficient per unit of electricity:
