>but what about the 24 hour ATM

:D how many hours of an ATM running do you think it takes to get to 300kW or 1 single bitcoin transaction?

I’m going to guess that a single ATM might not hit 300kW in a year.

Your sense is scale is way wrong.



You're right, I didn't keep scale in mind when listing examples. Didn't think it mattered since there are hundreds of relevant things that consume energy at different scales. Next time I'll avoid listing things that can be cherrypicked to make a relevant counter argument.
