Which doesn't matter at all: it's not like the dam wouldn't have been built if there was no Bitcoin, so the implied causal connection is extremely tenuous.
Especially since the Three Gorges Dam predates Bitcoin by 2 or 3 decades.
- RugnirViking 5y agobizzare comment. I don't believe for a second the op decided to imply a connection, nor that any single reader would take that away from reading the comment. They were simply highlighting the relative magnitudes of power using something that us techies are likely to be familliar with, and something that is in the public conciousness recently (the power consumption of bitcoin) Overall, I learned that the dam has an impressively high power production, nothing more.
