same amount of electricity that the average American household consumes in a month
I had not such kind of data at my hand previous times that's why we could not think how it is impacting on Environment basically by consuming power. carbon emission and energy consumption is a matter of concern and we need to talk more about it because we cannot distroy environment for the sake of such kind of Technology. there should have some solution that how we can prevent ourselves from destroying nature like consuming power in such a way of mining.
I agree with your comment and indeed environmental destruction shouldn't be allowed on the cost of mining of crypto currencies
