The numbers show the fundamental difference in the philosophy of both networks:
â‚¿ Bitcoin (BTC):
Transaction fees of the last 7 days: ~ USD 331,790,000 😲
331 MILLION dollars in fees!
Ó¾ Nano (XNO):
Transaction fees of the last 7 days: USD 0 💪
ZERO fees!
"But Bitcoin has a much larger volume than Nano!!!" - so what? Nano would have no fees at all even with higher volume! So why should I use Bitcoin to pay for something?
Why this difference?
Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency—a revolution, but not perfect. Perhaps as an investment or to provide computing power for AI—but not as a means of payment.
That's what Nano was designed for. Only as a means of payment! Nothing else!
And it's just as secure, mature, tested, proven, globally distributed, decentralized, etc.
But it's also instant and emissions-free.
Your opinion?
Is "zero-fee" the future for digital payments, or will everyone continue to promote Bitcoin payments?
and 🚀 Nano vs. Bitcoin: Comparison of emissions over the last 7 days
â‚¿ Bitcoin (BTC)
Example calculation (highly simplified, as consumption fluctuates): If Bitcoin, for example, consumes 150 TWh per year, that's approximately 150 TWh per week / 52 weeks ≈ 2.88 TWh. Converted into emissions, this depends heavily on the energy mix. With a global average (e.g., 400-500g CO2/kWh), that would be over 1 million tons of CO2 per week.
Ó¾ Nano (XNO)
Estimate for the last 7 days: Practically close to zero in terms of network operation. The energy consumption of a Nano transaction is comparable to sending an email or a very small amount of data.
I'm in favor of a tax on the consumption of biocapacity (e.g., electricity). See SPI surcharge u/ZielFWO
Your opinion? Is this a good idea? Will Nano benefit from it?
