| Malaysia is now dealing with bitcoin issues, with a steamroller | |
| July 20th, 2021 | |
| ---------------------------------------- | |
| Sarawakian authorities have seized just over a thousand bitcoin mining | |
| rigs and ran them over with a steamroller. Rightly so. | |
| An entertaining video of the steamroller in action was on YouTube. | |
| I can barely even begin to expound on the myriad of ethical issues that | |
| bitcoin raises, but the biggest one which I have an issue with is its | |
| extreme energy use... It uses so much power, even compared with its | |
| contemporaries, that it has driven folks mining for it to steal power... | |
| Likewise the high power usage results in very high emissions of carbon | |
| dioxide. Just what we need, more global heating and climate chaos. | |
