No, that's bad! The article makes it clear that China banning bitcoin and bitcoin mining is good, so other countries making more use of it must be bad.

Are you hijacking the topic to rehash the well-known tirade about energy usage? The article says less mining being concentrated in China means more decentralization (which is "good" as far as the philosophy of cryptocurrencies goes)

Also, just a reminder that not all crypto is PoW. Nano, for example, claims to be extremely energy efficient.

Take a guess; did I, in fact, already know that? There's another thread around here somewhere in which I am deliberately impolite to someone.
