Chart of the day: One bitcoin transaction consumes 819 KWh of electricity
One person in 66 countries of the world spends less electricity per year than is spent on one bitcoin transaction (819 KWh).
More than 1.5 billion people (about 20% of the world's population) live in these states, including Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, and Ethiopia.

Mining one bitcoin requires about 94 thousand KWh of electricity. That would be enough to provide about 6 Canadians, 8 Americans, 10 Australians, or 20 Brits with electricity for the year.
