      This is brilliant, it's like a pristine experiment showing nothing that comes out of modern science has any value. If there were political demand to show that pi was higher, we would get papers showing an increase in the value of pi month by month.https://twitter.com/EricHolthaus/status/997108205858840576 …

      The first peer-reviewed study of bitcoin’s energy consumption confirms our fears: Bitcoin’s energy consumption is growing at 20% *per month* and is effectively erasing decades of progress on renewable energy. https://grist.org/article/bitcoins-energy-use-got-studied-and-you-libertarian-nerds-look-even-worse-than-usual/ …

      The only way this could possibly be true for any sustained period of time is if the value of bitcoin were rising and the cost of energy falling by a combined 20% per month.

      I'm trying to think of a better experiment than this one. We need to 1. Find something that cannot possibly be true as a matter of logic 2. Incentivise researchers to publish papers claiming that it is true 3. See what they manage to produce

      Hey now. It's also possible that BTC's energy use is extremely small, so that growing nine times in a year works out to a total of 'still small.'

      There are a few theoretical possibilities- maybe transaction fees are starting to dominate mining rewards - but they're all far-fetched and easily verifiable.

          Of course, as I should have expected, on reading the paper it turns out to be fairly sane (though there are one or two points that could be errors), and doesn't contain the "growing at 20% per month" or other stupid ideas that were made up by grist.
