A lot of countries have been benefitting from China ban on cryptos. Due to the ban, countries that made borders with China saw their crypto mining industry boom. Kazakhstan is one of the most recent countries where the crypto mining interest is surging as "at least $1.5B in economic activity from crypto mining within 5 years" is expected to hit the country. The investment that crypto will bring to the country will be a boost for Kazakhstan's development.

Kazakhstan to restrict crypto miners amid power shortages

Facing a sudden energy shortage, officials must be regretting their recent embrace of the crypto industry.

Permanent Bans of Bitcoin PoW mining in Kazakhstan , not far away.
China Smarten up, and so will Kazakhstan ,about the dangers of PoW to the people and energy grid,
although odds are Texas holds out until their power grid is destroyed and throws Texas back to the stone age for years. Tongue

Watch Texas growing power nightmare here : http://www.ercot.com/
Odds are less than 2 years until a Texas Power Grid collapse during a winter storm, thanks to the increased energy drain by PoW bitcoin miners.

It can't be true because the country is among the top countries with coal reserves.

All of sudden the news comes after they were heavily doing BTC mining. Is the big man up above pulling all the strings on the poor countries?
I have the feeling that in the next few more years, only the governments are the ones mining Bitcoin and the people are just going to be the holders and making transactions.
