For more than 10 years critics were unable to understand how BTC can be of value in reality. If you are pissed off hearing this from people around you discussing this, then this article will supply you with information about how BTC was adopted.

BTC Is Good Cash

One of the usual ways of underrating BTC is that the crypto isn’t backed by currency, and thus cannot be used in place of money. Any person with this opinion might believe that fiat currencies are backed by Gold, and this hasn’t been so for about 50 years. Currencies are printed “by order”, this implies that their values are backed by the Law, thus the leadership of any nation in question can raise the supply of money in the country, and this devalues one’s savings.

Is BTC (Bitcoin) Worthless?

Can BTC Be Regarded as Worthless?

BTC is backed by how much energy  used to minning it. Bitcoin mining usually consumes a lot of power, and this power cannot be faked. Therefore, we can see that BTC is the outcome of a particular amount of energy, which in turn gives it a set value.

BTC Is Power Efficient

Electricity is generated in many ways, with some being able to generate electricity more constantly than others. The electricity grid of a country depends more on different combinations of non-constant energy like fossil fuels, solar, and wind. It gets challenging to balance the network load during high periods, and stays cost-efficient when the request for it is small.

BTC can be produced utilizing the surplus power in times of less request, and this raises the efficiency of power production. During times when the request for power is high Bitcoin mining can be put off or minimized so that enough power can be left available on the power grid.

To portray how BTC seeks out surplus power, we will consider the oil industry. The extraction of oil usually has a bad side-effect of escaping methane from unused wells, this methane gas is normally burnt until its deposit is reduced to the minimum. Rather than burning this methane gas, BTC miners uses it to power the ASIC machine, thereby producing BTC from what would have been wasted for nothing.
