This calculation is somewhat interesting, but the conclusion might be wrong.
Currently, the total network hash rate is about 850 EH/S, and the peak hasn't exceeded 1000 EH/S.
Let's guess:
"If the Brahmaputra River hydropower project mines Bitcoin
How long will it take to pay back? 》
1. The investment in hydropower stations is 1.2 trillion yuan, equivalent to US dollars = 165 billion
The total installed capacity is 700W MW
2. The construction cost of the mine is 700W*20W=1.400 billion
3. The cost of mining machine is 14,000*2.5=3,500 billion
Total investment of 5,065 billion (USD)
Total computing power ~280,000EH/s
To be honest, we can't guess this
Because the computing power of the entire Bitcoin network is only 950EH/s
The electricity of this hydropower station is mined if bitcoins are mined
The total computing power will be 280 times the current computing power of the whole network!
This account can't be settled 🤯🤯 at all
We can only work backwards:
At present, more than 1 million $BTC have not yet been mined
Suppose 1 million of them were dug up by the Brahmaputra River hydropower station
Then Bitcoin will rise to at least 500W/coin
This has just paid for itself
A pure nonsense push, don't be more serious 🤭
