Fresh figures on Bitcoin\u2019s (BTC) energy consumption, efficiency and scalability serve to expose the banking sector while bathing the world’s largest cryptocurrency in a new light.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A research report published by Michel Khazzaka, an IT engineer, cryptographer and consultant, calculates\u00a0that Bitcoin payments are a “million times more efficient” than the legacy financial system. Plus, the banking sector \u201cuses 56 times more energy than Bitcoin.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report compiles almost four years of research and suggests a new calculation for estimating Bitcoin’s proof-of-work energy consumption. In an interview, Khazzaka told Cointelegraph:<\/p>\n

\u201cBitcoin Lightning, and Bitcoin, in general, are really great and very efficient technological solutions that deserve to be adopted on a large scale. This invention is brilliant enough, efficient enough, and powerful enough to get mass adoption.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Khazzaka, who founded payments consultancy Valuechain in late 2021, proposes an alternative to the energy estimates provided by Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index (CBECI). The index, often cited by Cointelegraph, estimates that Bitcoin consumes roughly 122 TW\/H per year. <\/p>\n

Taking into account the average lifespan of Bitcoin mining machines as well as the rate at which new IT materials are created, Khazzaka suggests that Bitcoin consumes 88.95 TWh per year, considerably less than Cambridge’s estimate.<\/p>\n

A payments specialist who wrote his dissertation about cryptography in 2003, and discovered Bitcoin in 2011, Khazzaka also puts the banking sector under the microscope to effectively compare the two monetary systems. Khazzaka told Cointelegraph he \u201creally underestimates every aspect of the banking sector,\u201d and contrary to critics, his report is \u201cbiased to the banking system.\u201d <\/p>\n

Nonetheless, taking into account the creation of money, transporting money, physical banking infrastructure energy consumption, etc, he arrives at a figure of 4,981 TWh. Rounded up, 5,000 TWh is consumed by the \u201cclassical payments\u201d sector every year. Consequently, banking uses 56 times more energy than Bitcoin. <\/p>\n

The report examines transaction efficiency revealing that currently, \u201cat current block size and if the blocks are filled to their maximum capacity \u03b7max = 5.7\u00d7 better energy efficiency than the classical system.\u201d However, that\u2019s without taking into account the Lightning Network. In the interview, Khazzaka explained: <\/p>\n

\u201cLightning will allow the bitcoin protocol to do more transactions without consuming more energy. And this is magic.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The report concludes that the combination of Bitcoin and the Lightning Network allows Bitcoin to become \u201c194 million\u201d times more energy efficient than a classical payment system. <\/p>\n

For Khazzaka, the report lays bare that the \u201cBanking and payments industry needs to adopt blockchain and maybe even Bitcoin.\u201d While Khazzaka\u2019s conclusion may come as a surprise to the cypherpunks and anarchocapitalists who favor the crypto space, Khazzaka believes that Bitcoin could actually benefit banking:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they are courageous enough blockchain technology, it will improve their efficiency and their scalability.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Although Bitcoin’s energy use is frequently critiqued,\u00a0the investigation into the banking sector will come as welcome news to many.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
