Stats not even needed.

If the enegry used in Argentina <= energy used in bitcoin transactions.

and, if people living in Argentina are doing any of the things listed (watching porn, etc).

Then the energy used to watch all the porn in Argentina must still be included as part of the Energy use of Argentina; thus less than the use of bitcoin. (I guess this would have to assume the porn is also hosted in Argentina; but I would imagine at least 1 porn unit is hosted and viewed internally to Argentina).



obviously, but you still don't know how much greater the bitcoin amount is the porn amount.

Also how much bitcoin is mined in Argentina, obviously less than 50% of the world's bitcoin - but how much less!?!


If those damned Argentinians would just mine bitcoin exclusively, we could all get on with our lives.

We also need to talk to South Africa about Youtube.
