> My point was more that the data presented in the article aren't very useful on their own. Yea this is a constant issue in almost all journalism. Numbers are provided mostly without context. E g.

Bitcoin.com claims the traditional banking sector uses about 2x as much energy. But cryptocurrency handles a tiny, tiny fraction of worldwide banking stuff, so if it was operating at the scale of e.g. 20,000 qps of credit card transactions, for example, it might have substantially higher energy use compared to now.
