The whole point of blockchains is that everyone has a copy. I don't understand why you think they're migrating unless you don't want third-world countries using blockchains.
- toolz 5y agoIt doesn't matter what you or I want - I'm stating facts. and the fact is that technology is solving the dirty energy problem and miners are moving to cheap energy solutions because clean energy is cheaper.
- jimbob45 5y agoNo, put the energy stuff aside - I'm only concerned with learning what you mean by saying it's migrating to the first-world.
- randomhodler84 5y agoThe mining is migrating — as in the production of new blocks. The actual blockchain is free open and available to everyone in the world, with a computer and internet connection. It is not an exclusive technology for rich nations.

It has nothing to do with "want[ing] third-world countries using blockchains" He means that more of the mining is taking place -due to natural market incentives- in 1st world countries. 1st world countries have "greener" energy production than not 1st world countries, so this is an environmental improvement
