    Yeah, I mean, I’m not disagreeing with you, but the mentality that “Eh, they supported a shitty system, now they’re suffering the consequences” is implying that everyone affected supported the shitty system, which they definitely didn’t.

      Yeah but there are enough of them that voted in their leaders and after a chunk of Texans froze to death you would think they’d have any kind of self awareness to see what causes their power issues.

      How many times do you need to touch the hot stove to learn a lesson?

      The majority did. Rather then blaming the bitcoin miners operating legally, in a bad system, blame the politicians and those that voted for them and continue to do so.

      I think it’s perfectly fine to shut down bitcoin mining if it’s bad for the power grid, but then you should also look at what else is bad and shut it too. The law should be fair.
