The index website features a variety of interesting factoids and comparisons on Bitcoin consumption, ranging from how many years worth of all the tea kettles in the United Kingdom running would it take to power Bitcoin for one year, to the fact it would take the University itself would nee 365 years of operation just to use as much energy as just one year of the Bitcoin network. The comparative study also claims that the Bitcoin network now consumes more energy in one year than the entire country of Switzerland.

Franc Discussion: BTC Joins Switzerland\u2019s Fiat Currency as Safe Haven Asset They say lightning never strikes twice, but Bitcoin drawing comparisons to Switzerland has now happened twice in as many days. Not only is Bitcoin\u2019s energy consumption being compared to Bitcoin, it\u2019s also being compared to the nation\u2019s fiat currency \u2013 the Swiss franc \u2013 due to its potential as a safe haven asset. Related Reading | Prominent Investor: Mainstream Finance Is Now Considering Bitcoin As a Safe Haven Asset As concerns over a looming economic crash fueled by the Trump administration\u2019s trade war mount, safe haven assets have started to show signs that investors are once again preparing for the worst and hedging their capital against the perceived risk ahead. But as investors sell of stocks and other higher risk assets into safe haven assets like gold, the Japanese yen, or the Swiss franc, they also appear to be buying up Bitcoin, too. The four assets have shown tightly correlated price charts that suggest all four of them are being considered as a flight to safety amidst any economic downturn that we may face in the coming days, weeks, months, or years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":517,"featured_media":388854,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5651,3],"tags":[428,14433,46558,4034,15124],"class_list":["post-388849","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bitcoin","category-news","tag-bitcoin","tag-energy-consumption","tag-swiss-franc","tag-switzerland","tag-university-of-cambridge"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n<title>Bitcoin Consumes As Much Power As Switzerland, But Impact Remains Negligible<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Much of the conversation surrounding Bitcoin and Switzerland in recent days is focused on the cryptocurrency showing price correlation between it and the\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/news\/bitcoin-switzerland-energy-consumption\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Bitcoin Consumes As Much Power As Switzerland, But Impact Remains Negligible\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Much of the conversation surrounding Bitcoin and Switzerland in recent days is focused on the cryptocurrency showing price correlation between it and the\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/news\/bitcoin-switzerland-energy-consumption\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"NewsBTC\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/newsbtc\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-07-06T01:01:34+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-06-11T13:45:05+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/ktsl888.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/bitcoin-switzerland-shutterstock_1129122296.jpg?resize=860,573\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"860\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"573\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Tony &quot;El Toro&quot;
