    Sure, but how much of the global financial market does crypto represent?

    I susptect that the energy consomption per transaction is considerably higher for crypto than for a normal financial transaction.

        I did find some information about this, and have posted about it in the thread, and you are absolutely right about this in regards to Bitcoin, I did not find a lot of information about other crypto apart from Etherium, which claimed that the energy use of one Etherium transaction would not consume any power at all, which I doubt.
