- meepmorp 5y ago> To confiscate equipment and coins I guess. You don't have to guess; the article is barely 5 paragraphs long and explains why Iran is doing it.
- Proven 5y agoThe US government enlists the IRS. They take only 1/3 your coins, but do it almost every year.
- vimacs2 5y agoYeah, I'm going to be with Iran on this one. Bitcoin mining is an enormous waste of energy even if we're not living in a country largely cut off from international aid or trade.
