Re:Kazakhstan to restrict crypto miners amid power shortages by zherbert on Wednesday November 03, 2021 @03:14PM (#29099040)
You think the current global financial system is energy efficient? How about the raw materials used by global militarizes financed by unending money printing? If you fast forward a couple decades, and Bitcoin becomes the global reserve currency, mining will be far more efficient than the amount of enormous military spending and middle-eastern oil production financed by fiat currencies and the petrodollar standard.

You people are advocating for shutting down one of the most important human advancements of all time – money that is directly linked to energy.

It is not efficient, I agree. But the cryptocurrencies should be of low priority right now, there are much more significant topics and problems, plus - how do you expect people to use cryptocurrencies if they won't even have any computers due to various shortages caused by the miners?

Maybe sometime, but not right now.
