When it comes to power...it absolutely is comparable....but most of you have no clue how much compute we use daily in terms of power. Acting like the block chain sucks down anywhere near the amount of power we use on even in the corporate world is hilarious...you know a lot of colos have their own sub stations right?
The only person here who doesn't know what they're talking about is you. If you took a standard DB (MySQL or Postgres, for example) and took that same information and stored it on a blockchain instead, you'd use far more energy on the blockchain and the issue would only get exponentially worse as the chain got bigger. Normal DBs don't need to hash new entries or validate them against previous entries that are also hashed.
Yes because there are millions and millions of block chains...lol don't fool yourself into knowing what your talking about.
And yes DBs are only one DB no one ever has HA stacks or redundancy built in...lol
Are you dense, man? No one said that. They’re saying that one blockchain would take several hundred DBs to equal its energy use. You’re wrong and doubling down for some reason and it’s just making you look silly.
I said that genius...go check my posts...the fuck you arguing about? I literally said that the amount of DBs we have make the miniscule amount of large block chains out there look like nothing. Then you show up and say one DB isn't comparable to one large fucking blockchain....no shit.
You did not say that. That’s why you got downvoted to hell. Since you can’t be honest, I’m done here.

Yea totally didn't say that at all.
You didn’t. You said some bullshit about how many nodes there are.
Yea cause that's totally what my linked post says....but sure...you keep up that reading comprehension champ you'll get there one day.
Yeah, that’s why you got downvoted to shit… because it does not say what you’re claiming it does.
Lol ok reading comprehension is hard.
No. Life as you must be, though.
