Think about that 1.2MWh per transaction.

Compare it with the power consumption of video gaming. They are not even in the same ballpark, not remotely.

It's absurd. repeating what I said elsewhere - my desktop at home has a 650W PSU. It would take ~76 days of full power for that to consume as much energy as a single BTC transaction.
