I think that all this hype around the harm to the environment due to bitcoin mining is exaggerated and there are many other types of human activities in the world that cause more harm to the surrounding world. But for some reason, mining has recently been criticized from the standpoint of environmental friendliness.

Will mining be banned? Bitcoins has already been banned in some other country due to various excuses by the government of the country and the fear that they won’t be able to control the people of the country. And the fear of not paying taxes by the people.
