I went over the numbers with vitalik a couple weeks ago - he&#x27;ll corroborate my claim. You can tell roughly how much energy is being burned per day based on calculating the token price multiplied by the daily issuance rate.<p>Vitalik knows the Ethereum chain won&#x27;t scale so he&#x27;s renovating the entire thing to Proof of Stake. (Which is a bad idea as well). Hunt around this is public knowledge.<p>Claims: There are so many. If you haven&#x27;t seen them , watch the videos of the Ether team during the crowdsale.
