I ceaselessly listen that enhancements of mining generation (extra hashes in step with kWh) would support Bitcoin power utilization. Is not that only a false impression? Is not the power utilization rarely depending on the true generation utilized by the miners, as a result of enhancements simply result in a problem lift?

Believe this concept experiment. Shall we say there have been miracle ASICs invented that experience 1000 instances the hash price in step with kWh as present ASICs. What I feel would occur is that this. To start with, miners converting to the miracle ASIC could be massively extra successful than the others. So others would exchange to the miracle ASIC, too, and the worldwide hash price will increase, and thus the trouble. The miners the use of the previous ASICs would get unprofitable and need to scramble to get the brand new ASICs, too. In spite of everything all would exchange to the miracle ASICs, some would surrender, some would come new, the trouble could be 1000 instances than earlier than and the power utilization on the subject of the similar. (All in the entire power utilization is made up our minds by means of the mining praise, as a result of there may be an incentive for brand spanking new miners to return in till many of the mining praise is spent on prices, and effort is the biggest price issue, so there is not any coming down so long as POW is used.)

Am I lacking one thing essential there?

(BTW: I am mindful that there might be some shifts if e.g. the miracle ASIC is far more pricey than the previous ones. My level on this concept experiment is that we do not have to be expecting a transformation within the order of magnitude of power utilization, in spite of 3 orders of magnitude of exchange in mining potency.)
