Zusammenfassung
In the places where Bitcoin mining has arrived, it has provoked an unprecedented waste of energy, having as a fundamental premise the search for cheap, free and continuous energy to keep the technology that gives life to Bitcoin, the blockchain, working. This sickly competition to create new blockchains is a perverse game that squanders energy 24/7, while millions of people are denied their right to energy as a global common good.
