It's actually a worse situation that bitcoin synergy usage scales with its price. So same number of people could be using bitcoin but if the price jumps up by 10X, then over a period a few months it's energy usage would also go up by 10X.

This is exactly what you’d expect to see with market manipulation. It’s the pump before the dump. Or less cynically, it’s just herd mentality seen through data.
