        Wasn't this debunked months ago as including all of the energy that it took to mine that bitcoin, and not just the transaction it self?

        No it really costs about $2000 to make one bit coin

        True. But when we calculate the cost of a credit card transaction, we don't include the cost of me getting to work.

        You truly don't know what you're talking about. A block is not one transportation. The infrastructure it would take to secure the same transaction across the world, instantly, doesn't even exist. I can send $1 million to India in 1 minute for less then $5.

        The energy usage is a concern, but this is misleading. It ignored the primary value provided by the bitcoin network--securing the network and protecting the value of owners bitcoins.
