If we're counting offices and cars for Visa, it seems only fair to do the same for cryptocurrency companies.
Close to 200,000 people work on or with cryptocurrencies[1]. Visa employs around 27,000[2], some of whom are no doubt being double-counted here.
(But note: this is still a pointless comparison. Even an absurdly wasteful Visa facilitates more value-per-watt-second than cryptocurrencies do.)
