> ~22% of Bitcoins hashrate (~45 TWh/year of electricity) It looks like Kazakh total energy consumption is 861 Kwh [0] and total elecricity is 104 TWh. Is it realistic for 43% of a country's electricity to be going to Bitcoin? If that were true, what sort of infrastructure would be developed? Datacenters colocated with coal plants? Over less than a year, Kazakh average monthly hashrate share went from 5% to 18%, increase of >260%. Given 2020 utilization of 104 Kwh with 12.5 Kwh going to Btc ((5/18)45=12.5), then current (no pun intended) utilization with 18% hashrate share would be 136 Kwh (104+45-((5/18)45)). Is it reasonable for a country to increase electric generating capacity by 30% to support bitcoin?
