Bitcoin Mining / Re: Argentina To Mine Bitcoin With Stranded Gas
« on: Today at 10:03:15 PM »It is true that a huge amount of electricity is lost every year and that it is about 50 000 TWh, and that for comparison BTC mining consumes somewhere around 200 TWh, which refutes any crazy claim that Bitcoin can have anything to do with a serious impact on the environment. Therefore, any use of what would otherwise be completely useless has a positive effect on the economy of a country and creates additional value.Politicians are just exploiting the energy issue of the BTC network to polish their names and get more exposure in the media. At this point, I don't believe they still think that BTC has no value at all for the world, they are just trying to fool those who support their outdated views on BTC.
While energy is not enough for everyone, we still have a lot of wasted energy, I think it would be better if it could be tokenized into BTC for value storage and protection. My country, Vietnam, also has a lot of wasted solar energy, many power plants have to discharge electricity because the transmission system cannot meet the large capacity, I wish these power plants would operate their own BTC mining farms to utilize the surplus energy, create additional income for themselves and tax revenue for the country's development.
