The narrative must be spinning up along with the attack on the miners(DOE survey).
Yep, the narrative war is spinning up

Wow the comments. There are some really stupid people on there. The level of authoritarianism they want is very disturbing.

Probably the same people scared to death of fascism taking over... It really is disturbing how quickly people are ready to use the force of the state against others.

There it is! I knew it came from somewhere. Thanks

Yeah, came from the DOE apparently. When people start talking about how much energy something uses as a bad thing it makes me wonder do they know how much energy other things use. Its not really a question of how much energy something uses. Its if you think it is worthy of that energy. Even lower level though... its none of my business what someone does with the electricity they buy. They paid for it. When energy is scarce prices go up. When prices go up people are more careful about how they use something. This whole topic is a bunch of nonsense IMO. There's no winning with the people worried about 2% energy use. They don't like bitcoin and they think they have a right to hold a gun to someone's head and force them to stop. Period.

This completely. The positive narrative around bitcoin mining will hopefully get through the noise. I’ve been sharing this bitcoin mining bathhouse video and that’s done some good conveying how it’s helpful. People just need to take the time and digest this information and not fall for BS headlines.

Wow, haven't browsed Ars in a while but I didn't expect the comments to be so dramatic...

I haven't heard one thing about Bitcoin or attacks on miners on MSNBC in the past week. And I'm an almost daily watcher. So stop.

Wasn't referring to MSNBC but thanks for the info on the topic. Referring to the anti bitcoiners in government. They use all the outlets.
