Pakistan will allocate its surplus electricity to #Bitcoin mining 🇵🇰

There's at least 10,000 megawatts of surplus energy under government control that can be used to mine bitcoin 🔥 🚀

Oh 👀

I’d rather they didn’t.

First of all they shouldn’t have access as so much if the country exposes many blackouts and secondly the government is corrupt as fuuuuuuuuuuuck

But excess energy is during off-peak times

Then it’s feeding the corruption. Nothing will trickle down.l from the corrupt to the people.

I always have a good chuckle when people worry about bitcoin mining and decentralization… the opportunity cost of bitcoin mining is found in wasted energy. In a few decades the thought of paying for energy to mine bitcoin will be absurd (because it simply won’t be profitable). Load demand response is an industry of its own. Miners will get paid because they have a need to get rid of energy, not a need to flip a small profit on a slim margin.
