Indonesia, especially Jakarta is in a pollution emergency, Many say that this is caused by steam power plants where the fuel is coal. And, sadly I heard also on my social media local that this pollution is also caused by crypto-mining, I debated and rejected it opinion because crypto-mining in Indonesia is not much like other countries where their air is still clean today.

So what do you though, is crypto mining become a big problem of pollution?

Lol! These are just propaganda. It will be better if you can stay out of such things. Indonesia was never much favorable towards crypto mining and if I am not wrong, they do not have much mining facilities either. So when someone say such loose words, there's some vested interest for sure!

Crypto mining surely causes pollution but that is quite less when compared to other industries and thermal power plants. Why blame crypto mining alone!

Well for sure the one posted it is a Bitcoin hater as they find negative sources that could connect to Bitcoin. I mean there's a lot of things that we could consider that might causes the pollution for example vehicles run by gas, non-eco friendly energy sources and a lot more. And also I believe that most of the crypto miner has a safe facility that could help like solar panel. Pollution is actually a big deal to most countries not only in Jakarta and I agree that there's a lot of factory that didn't meet a safety procedure and too hazardous wastes, it's like blaming someone's crime to anyone.
