If your publication is citing TRG Datacenters as evidence that Dogecoin is energy efficient, then your writer is not qualified to write about crypto...or to be a journalist.

There is no citation. No author. No methodology. Even a crypto amateur would know that the data is fake.

If you want a good lesson in how fake news spreads, "journalists" google to find data that fits their narrative, regardless of quality and then they push the article out. Few of them care about actual facts.

Except for the @verge good job @reckless

List of publications that published this fake news:

@newscientist
@Teslarati
@Independent
@RobbReport
@IBTimes
@YahooFinance

also @MarketWatch

Please fix your fake news regarding dogecoin's energy usage. You have either an uninformed crypto reporter who doesn't check sources or a reporter citing bad data to pump doge prices.
