Meanwhile, a tweet from Elon Musk is also showing that if Dogecoin is not upgraded according to them, then they will also consider bringing their cryptocurrency. Actually, with respect to bitcoin, they say that it requires a lot of energy in its mining. According to TRG’s report, Dogecoin consumes 0.12-kilowatt hours of electricity for every transaction, while Bitcoin consumes 707 kilowatts of electricity. This is the reason that they are promoting it a lot at the moment.
