It's 121 TWh/y, world total is on the order of 160,000 TWh/y (primary energy supply), so crypto is less than 1 part per thousand. It's huge for pushing numbers

It's 121 TWh/y, world total is on the order of 160,000 TWh/y (primary energy supply), so crypto is less than 1 part per thousand.

The graph it and the article shows us misleading as it only compares electricity and not total energy consumption.
