RE: Plattsburgh, NY Seeks Moratorium On Bitcoin Mining Due To Power Strain

in #bitcoin8 years ago (edited)

I'm sure sometimes that's what's going on. Governments all over the world are really split on crypto right now. Some states are accepting crypto for taxes and fees. Others are trying to stamp it out. Some nations are issuing their own crypto. Others are making it illegal to do just about anything with it. I'm getting a sense that apart from being taxed sky high (tax on every trade?) our government mostly intends to profit from it. But any given municipality/state can in many ways make their own decisions on that.
