> To put this into perspective US manufacturing used 4.69e12 Kwh where crypto mining used 0.05e12 Kwh. The perspective being that crypto is so small because it's 1/100th of manufacturing? Or the perspective being that crypto is so big because it's 1/100th of manufacturing? The way I see it is that US manufacturing produces a massive amount of highly complicated and sophisticated goods which make a complete nontrivial difference in the quality of life for a massive amount of people. Whereas (as I see it) crypto does nothing but provide a way for a small number of people to be scammed out of money by a smaller number of people.
