 Sorry that reply was to a different question, but to answer the mineral mining question specifically. As a Bitcoiner, you should appreciate that all media coverage of both types of mining is FUD. We don’t talk about mining issues building weapons or houses or petrol cars or everything we manufacture. We mine what we mine for everything we want and need, we either stop mining and regress 1,000 years or we keep mining and keep developing. Don’t isolate a specific product or technology in your argument. 
 Also, this note is in reply to Norway who are trying to ban Bitcoin mining, ironically, Norway has just found the worlds largest seem of Cobalt, 10 times larger than the next largest which is in Morocco:
