Bitcoin consumes 4,000,000,000 W of power to process four transactions per second. A single Raspberry Pi with a database can do an order of magnitude more on 5W. Think about that next time you wonder if it's a good design.

You really love your orders of magnitude. I wonder what your optimum number is for appropriate use of electricity (which btw, appropriate use is for whatever the user deems).
1000J/transaction sounds vaguely palatable (definitely not ideal), so let's say that or less. There's some wiggle room. Bitcoin is just so far from any sane number it's not even funny.

Well I appreciate you actually providing a number, most people wouldn't. I say the number is up to the user. You made your choice I see and sold, so you put your money where your mouth is. We will see.
