Ethereum's 99.95 % drop in energy usage will be equal to 15 big nuclear reactors, or 11 000 wind turbines

The Merge will reduce Ethereum's energy impact by up to 99.95 %. That's over [110 TWh of energy saved annually](https://ethereum.org/en/energy-consumption/), or 110 billion kilowatt-hours, equal to the annual energy output of over **15 big, 800 MW nuclear reactors.** Assuming that the reactors are never taken offline :) Wondering how many wind turbines that is? In the US, the mean capacity of wind turbines is [2.75 MW](https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/how-many-homes-can-average-wind-turbine-power): large, off-shore wind turbines can have production capacities of up to 8 MW. The typical capacity factor is 42 %. This means, that Ethereum's energy savings are equal to the annual production of almost **11 000 wind turbines.** Nuclear: 110 TWh / (800 MW * 24 h * 365) = 15.7 Wind: 110 TWh / (2.75 MW * 24h * 365 * 42 %) = 10870

Dogechain announced "maintenance" to cover the hack

Surprise, surprise! NOT. Dogechain team tried to cover an exploit by announcing a "maintenance" to the public.

How long did it take you to leave your emotions out of this

To stop the FOMO, the panic selling, your trip into futures and most importantly, to be patient After how long of being in this market, specifically this one as it’s so volatile compared to stocks did it take you to drop the emotions? I’m about a year deep and I still get the urge to FOMO but I manage to hold back, never needed to sell so I haven’t panicked sold (yet). just wondering how you guys have been getting on? Unless your investing as if you’re bipolar Edit: I imagine the bear market wiped out most of the emotional traders tbh, hello if you are still here

Manage your time or you’ll waste your energy.

What mistakes should I watch out for as a crypto newbie?

I am just getting into crypto, and imo some of this stuff has a lot of potential. But I've also seen countless people lose thousands of dollars, and it's a fate I would like to avoid. What dumbfuckery did you commit when you joined this community? Is taking some Ls unavoidable? When is it a good idea to invest in altcoins, or should I just stick to BTC and ETH for now? Can you recommend some interesting projects with real life applications that are still receiving updates? What are the most common scams?

What are some of the things you can easily say about Crypto and Blockchain, but not to your Partner?

It's Sunday, we are about to enter the week where we will finally witness The Merge, it's time to have some fun here folks! I'd like to hear what are the things you could say about crypto related stuff but saying the same to your partner would result in a catastrophe. I'll give you a couple of examples that I find funny and interesting such as: * Everyone will use you * I will keep my seed to myself * I can't wait to dump you * Just HODL it * We should diversify What are some other things we commonly say about Crypto, Trading, Blockchain regularly but if said in real life to your partner it would trigger a shitstorm?

Why Solana?

I'll admit that I haven't done much research on Solana. However, I know that centralization is a key reason I haven't been overly interested. Additionally, I know they've stopped the network several times because of issues. I'm aware that they have incredible TPS and super low transaction fees, which is usually an instant way to provide credibility and value to your blockchain. They also seem to have an active community, but that community doesn't seem to have been part of building the project as much as its investors. I'm under the impression that it's nearly entirely viable because of the VC money in the project, which leads me back to worrying about the overall decentralization, both as a project and in the tokenomics. So, when we have other L1 options that are less centralized and haven't completely shut down, what's the natural allure of Solana?

Some Avatars live to create harmony in their states of being, and then their surroundings. Alchemy may be thought as the art of fusion from mercury to gold. But the true alchemist first transforms its own being. Enlightened from the core, everything they touch turns into gold. https://t.co/FyDY9nhja5
