You can't ban Bitcoin. China has already proven this.

ASIC mining sites are such a big visible target for governments.

Good read, but I'm sure in such a scenario some sort of fork would happen.

Looks more like a ban to centralization, and no, PoS is not an answers, centralization is way easier with PoS.

They're still using that Alex De Vries FUD from 2016.
It's so debunked; it's almost embarrassing that an institution like the ECB can't do better than these fake calculations and "estimates".

wouldn't it be funny if the bitcoin miners stopped operation before they were asked to, and then the system collapses anyway?
won't happen, but ya know.

EU already solved their mining "problem". Miners are priced out due to other previous poor choices.

In due time, everyone who took this angle will be exposed as a short sighted fool. Bitcoin will do more for the environment than any technology that has ever come before it.
Regardless of your viewpoints on climate change, I think everyone can agree that we want to be good stewards of the environment. Nobody in Bitcoin wants to boil the ocean, or destroy the environment. Nobody.
Look no further than projects like Vespene Energy (https://vespene.energy/). If anyone can look at what they are doing, and take the stance that Bitcoin mining is bad for the environment, they cannot be helped. Well intentioned people are being silently programed by fiat misinformation and have lost the ability to see the forest through the trees.
THE BEST TOOL TO FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE IS BITCOIN.
Not hyperbole, it's just true. Without harnessing human incentives, nothing will be done. Legislation won't do shit. Incentives will, and they will do it without any type of coercion or regulation because that is what incentives do.
Sorry, this just really pisses me off.

It's surprising to me that the Fed has more positive (or at least neutral) takes on Bitcoin than the ECB. I don't know much about the ECB, but it makes me think there are different incentives at play for them vs the Fed.

Maybe if the ECB started worrying less about the climate and more about inflation we wouldnt have all this inflation
