Last months bitcoin trade volume was $273 billion.

Let's say a reactor works for 10 years.

That would give $32,760 billion in trade, and reactor cost would be 0.833% of that.

Not a big fee if you ask me.

Of course, if cryptocurrencies would scale so they become significant between other trades, we can't just built thousands of nuclear reactors. This is where proof of stake will come into play.
