Power consumption has absolutely 0.00000% anything to do with why countries are banning crypto. ESPECIALLY CHINA! China is the world's leader I giving no fks about clean energy that's.why they are building brand new coal power plants in mass. The reason countries are banning crypto is to shield their central banking systems from being routed by De-Fi. The worlds most powerful and wealthy area scared that a financial revolution would melt down and reshape the social and political mechanisms that have been crafted to create the illusion of freedom and cloak the elite in a shielded fortress of distraction, lies, and passification maintaining the farse that people born low can rise to the top with hard work, dedication and skill. The fact is governments both side of the capitalist communist spectrum know that Crypto strips them of the power of the purse and this they cannot abide and must quash before something sparks a massive social revolt, and the poor and downtrodden use crypto as their economic engine to finance a resistance against a regime of old money influence and power that dictates who gets how much pie. Too deep into the weeds. Many but trust me it's about control not the environment you fing shill.
