Due to the high cost of electricity, I do not mine bitcoins, but my family, who are in Iran and use cheap electricity, why should not mine?
Or why should they not exchange digital currencies legally? This is an injustice Sad

If someone has a chance to make life better, even if it may not be 100% legal in the country where you live (specifically crypto mining), I don't see why not try if it's the only way to improve our quality of life. Most people live in the belief that their governments wish them well, but ordinary people around the world feel that this is not the case - so it is even more illogical to ban ordinary people from doing something that the government itself does.

I've read and listened all my life to governments around the world saying "don't do it, don't live like that", and then in the end it turns out that it's just ordinary hypocrites doing the same things - Bitcoin is freedom that anyone can practice, no matter what politicians speak and advise.
