Bitcoin takes 200kWh per transaction. At current US energy pries of 13 cents, that's $26 per transaction.

The average transaction value made in bitcoin is $80k. A financial service cost of $26 on an $80k international transaction is amazingly good. And with something like litecoin goes down to $0.02
Just showing that bitcoin is more about international money laundering than a realistic currency
