I read that about 40 million people in Pakistan do not have electricity, which speaks for itself, and at the same time they have surplus electricity that they would spend on Bitcoin mining, the profit of which they would then spend on new weapons or something similar...
It's not that Pakistan is the only country that has such illogicalities, but it just goes to show that their problems (of any kind) will not go away until they change into a society where everyone should have the basic conditions to live a decent life. Then they wouldn't need the IMF and could do whatever they wanted with their electricity.
At the end of the day, Bitcoin mining is only a small portion of one huge puzzle. When millions of people cannot even access basic power then we are in the position of putting the cart before the horse when we emphasise mining. Repairing the infrastructure and providing people with reasonably good living conditions should be done at the first place. Absent that it is difficult to envisage just how all these crypto projects can have any benefits to the ordinary man in the street. The root issue is the inequality and resources scarcity that drag countries behind and until this is resolved, one will not be able to start improving things through mining and exotic technologies and the like.
