Nonsense. The world’s largest bitcoin mine is under the streets of Cincinnati. 87% of bitcoins are mined there. The ore is pulled out of the sloping mine shafts in little mine cars with big chains and counterweight concrete blocks. These are called blockchains. The bitcoin ore is stored in covered piles alongside leftover tulip bulbs from the 1630’s. There are thought to be large unexplored bitcoin reserves under the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve, but their mining is being blocked by environmentalist groups.

Let's not forget about the young children in third world countries who are forced to work long hours in the Bitcoin mines for just a few cents a day.

Woo, I forgot all about that!
Thanks for pointing that out.

And to think that their labor is wasted on making the mine owners rich. They could use that labor improving the sanitation of those s—tholes by digging real s—tholes.
