The next-generation of currencies was supposed to be very "green," but they require huge amounts of energy and wind and solar aren't enough! You need highly reliable power to "mine" cryptocurrency and only conventional power sources cut the mustard.
This is insanity..............................
WTF?
For what it is worth, and, for a moment, taking this at face value, does this not begin to make an argument for some cryptocurrency taxation to cover infrastructure investment and costs to support the transactions?
The “holy grail” of currency exchange will be burdened with unfunded overhead as it becomes main stream?
Bottom line for us: If you didnt mine for bitcoin years ago using a few home pcs running continuously, when the bitcoins were low on the tree, its gonna cost you significantly to get in now to go after ever diminishing and higher up fruit.
I heard that there was a boxcar full of millions of dollars of bitcoins that was shoved off a ferry in Lake Michigan.
They are searching for it now with metal detectors. No luck so far.
