I've been learning about the economics of bitcoin mining. A big part of the equation is electricity. As a result I've learnt about kilowatts (kw), and kilowatt hours (kwh). I found it confusing and realized why using the following example;
If I'm travelling 10 mph for 5 hours, I have travelled a total of 50 miles.
If on the other hand I use 10kilowatts for 5 hours, I use 50kwh
Why is the syntax for the use of electricity not the same as travelling in space?
