Bjarne Stroustrup vented his frustration for the implementation of C++ programming in Bitcoin (BTC) mining, during an interview with Lex Friedman’s Podcast. The Danish computer scientist seems disappointed that Satoshi Nakamoto chose the language; as the fundamental building block to write the initial implementation of Bitcoin’s source code. Stroustrup shed extensive details into the evolution of the C++ language, use cases, implementations and efficiency. Meanwhile, the scientist noted that a huge user base has implemented the language in diverse ways that he couldn't have though about; But Bitcoin implementation is his first disappointment.

Outrageous amounts of energy and suspicious use cases
Stroustrup highlighted that once technologists build tools, they never know how users will utilise that particular tool. With time, they attempt to improve the tool and its implementation with existing innovation; and how to it put into applicable use. However, it is impossible to actually have control on how that tool will be used. In relation to C++ use and misuse, the Computer scientist noted that bitcoin mining operations were consuming outrageous amounts of electricity. Additionally, stroustrup also pointed out the currency’s deployment for illegal operations. He claimed:
