Yesterday, the fees on Ethereum reached an all-time high of $6.87 million. Previous all-time high? $4.55 million during the 2017 speculative mania. Fees on Ethereum were 4.8 times higher than on Bitcoin yesterday pic.twitter.com/hQCp0hvxb8

#Bitcoin #EWaste Generation is at 10.755 kilotonnes per year (comparable to a country like Luxembourg) bitcoinelectronicwaste.com A footprint of 92.2 grams per unique transaction (equal to the weight of 1.4 'C'-size batteries or 2 golf balls) #MakeBitcoinSustainable

A real solution might be a battery in some form or shape. Dumping the excess in #Bitcoin mining leaves you with a need to pay the same miners to get off your grid during times of insufficient production; plus you still have to actually fill the gap (probably with “dirty” energy).

How to #Sustainability 101. Increasing energy consumption is always the answer. 💪🏻 twitter.com/masonnystrom/s…
