A totally valid point. It seems like the proposed ban is based on the fact that the computations costs a lot of energy, are “wasteful”, and only makes the miner in question happy. I don’t see how this differs from playing high-end computer games. Surely, you could argue that kids in the 70’s, only having access to board games, could get just as much enjoyment out of these as kids today get out of playing CoD, with the added benefit that you have to meet other people in person and that you’re not getting addicted to loot boxes. So, should we follow China in banning computer games?
