nasdaq is a kind of a biased source for this. I checked the linked article and it still doesn't answer the question. Energy usage was only for green house gases emissions and it was an estimate, and it doesn't include drilling or expanding new mines, like the one that's 4km deep under the surface.

The article still says:

>Galaxy Digital also showed that a significant part of the world's energy production is wasted — about 2,205 TWh per year which is 19.4 times that of the Bitcoin network.

>Cash and card (made available by banks) daily transactions are just on another level, more than 1 per person in EU for instance

Totally agree, like I said in another comment, I think BTC holds trading value and sentimental value, but should be replaced by any other from dozens of better adapted networks.
