RE: Bitcoin: The World Can No longer Sustain Its Mining Costs

in #bitcoin6 years ago

Great post about the Bitcoin energy problem.

Energy demand is a very real problem that few discuss.

Canada's largest energy producer - Hydro Quebec - recently announced it can't handle increased energy demands caused by crypto mining.

Montreal is a leading area for crypto mining.

Is the answer Litecoin?

Sort:  

Thanks for the heads up about Montreal, Canada. That would be shocking as I would expect crypto mining's energy demands to be overwhelming. True, in colder regions mining costs are lower - which may lead to either governmental support for increased revenue or banning of mining operations to sustain the country's own energy consumption.

Not sure which is better.
