<< what energy does it take to create bitcoin? Virtually none.>>

Same as it does to create a dollar, yuan, rubble, pound and a euro. ;)

I did a clumsydumbsy. Sentence was misplaced.

I was referring to the real bitcoin when i said nearly all of it is already in existence and not to the thought experiment of only one bitcoin.

Lots of computers have to run to produce bitcoins though probably that's not as much energy used as to produce gold.
