>How much energy does watching porn consume?

I guess if you got stats on how much porn they watch in Argentina you would be well on your way to answering this question. Same for the rest.

I think the more interesting thing is: as bitcoin becomes more difficult to mine energy needs go up, but countries are working hard to bring their energy usage down. Can bitcoin be overtaken on the downward journey by a country, or will it always be bitcoin overtaking countries on its upward swing. Is there some country decreasing its usage as bitcoin increases its, and the two pass each other like ships in the night.

What is the next country most likely to be surpassed by bitcoin?
