I can understand banning mining. The rest is just crazy though.
Honestly even banning mining if you are off the grid is kinda not right though. Especially if you were only using renewables.
- capableweb 6y agoSince this tend to be a place of discussion and argumentation, maybe you want to expand your argument a bit, specifically with "why" you understand banning A but not banning B. I guess you're for banning mining because of the energy usage? If so, wouldn't banning both mining + usage make the energy usage even less, so you should be for both of them?
- pfisch 6y agoBecause mining on the grid could impact the prices and create what is basically artificial demand for local energy production. Usage doesn't require domestic energy production. Also not all cryptos are even mined. So energy usage is pretty negligible in that case.
