The United States of America has emerged to be one of the leading countries for Bitcoin mining after China banned its participation and involvement in crypto. It has been a surprising turn of events since until recently, crypto-enthusiasts in the U.S were worried about losing out to the world amid its regulatory pace.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the crypto-mining business has doubled over the past four months. What’s more, its share of average monthly global hash rate hit 35.4% in August from just 16.9% in April.<\/p>\n

According to data<\/a> provided by the researchers at Cambridge Center for Alternative Finance, in April, Chinese miners were responsible for a 46% share of the average monthly global hash rate. This was before the authorities shut down multiple mining operations in Sichuan province and Inner Mongolia.<\/p>\n

As can be seen from the attached chart, Kazakhstan followed the United States with an 18.1% hash rate and Russia took third place with 11.2%. In fact, the crackdown in China has also paved the way for Canada to increase its share to 9.6% in August from 3% in April.<\/p>\n

Simultaneously, a northbound tick was also noted by other countries such as Malaysia [5.4%], Germany [4.5%], and Ireland [4.7%].<\/p>\n

The hash rate coming on track was a positive thing for the crypto-community. However, many respective nations have been starting to feel it by burning their resources. Kazakhstan and Russia, for instance, where the cost of electricity is under 1 cent per kilowatt-hour, are now planning to increase the costs associated with mining activities. Kazakhstan’s President has already signed a law to introduce extra taxes for crypto-miners from 2022.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Siberia has also warned against Bitcoin miners flooding in since this could overload its power grid. According to a report<\/a>, retail energy consumption in the Irkutsk region is up by 159%, compared to its 2020-levels due to a rapid increase in mining activities.<\/p>\n

Governor Igor Kobzev wrote to Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak about this problem and added,<\/p>\n

“The situation is an unpredictable event for the region, and is leading to significant loads on the power grid with the risk of accidents and emergencies.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The region was prominent for Bitcoin mining well before China’s crackdown. However, the load has been increasing ever since. Despite the move, some regions are only a temporary shelter for miners. This is because the mining equipment is upgraded in the process, resulting in some of the miners moving out of these regions. This has contributed to a change in mining demography once again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
