I took a hunch of 10% as the high income class who never have to budget energy for food, heating, gas, air conditioning, travel anywhere, etc. They live in energy surplus.
Thus, 90% of people have to budget their energy needs carefully. They have a deficit. It's on a spectrum as some see a deficit because they can't afford plane tickets, while others have a real deficit close to life threatening e.g. not enough warm clothes.
After research, the high income class is actually 7% of people — https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2021/07/21/are-you-in-the-global-middle-class-find-out-with-our-income-calculator/
Yup. We're broke. 90% of us still find Bitcoin nodes too expensive to just run. We prefer TVs. And if you can't run Bitcoin, you definitely can't run your own AI server coz it's about the same energy cost. So yeah.
How did you get to this number?
