I want to agree with you, but crypto mining is orders of magnitude more energy than the worst lazy energy leaks.
Not that I don't believe you, but do you have a source for that?
There were sources in the article that says that Bitcoin mining basically wasted a countries worth of resources, increasing our overall electric bills.
Yeah I see that now. Thanks for pointing it out. It did take a minute to go through and find the actual sources as The Verge likes to source themselves. So I'll put the two (at least I think) sources.
This source shows where most of the mining is taking place.
This is the second source that shows how much Energy is being consumed.
