Remember when we used to dig for gold? Now we just mine for #Bitcoin.

And Bitcoin needs as much water as 660,000 sports swimming pools. 😅

Depending on the type of gold extraction, about 300,000 gigajoules of energy were used to extract one ton of gold, and 260,000 tons of water. Up to 27,000 tons of greenhouse gases were emitted, and around 1,270,000 tons of waste were produced.

DYOR.
