   The Bitcoin Core mining can remain profitable using up to at least 24
   TWh annually. That said, as the periodic halvings reduce awards the
   fees, which are already to high to make it useful for commerce, may
   soon make it problematic for investment.
   Bitcoin Cash is up to 8 times more energy efficient and Bitcoin
   Unlimited blockchains could be >> efficient yet.

   The bitcoin computer network currently uses as much electricity as
   Denmark. In 18 months, it will use as much as the entire United States.
