I'm curious to know, with the increasing scrutiny on the environmental impact of cryptocurrency mining, is there a possibility that governments will eventually ban bitcoin mining altogether? And if so, what kind of implications would that have on the cryptocurrency market as a whole? Additionally, what are some potential alternatives or solutions that could be implemented to mitigate the environmental concerns while still allowing for the continuation of bitcoin mining?

It is noteworthy that Bitcoin mining has been a significant source of foreign currency for the regime, making it a crucial aspect of the country's economic well-being. The government's decision to reinstate mining post-ban will likely be heavily influenced by this factor.

Cryptocurrency mining, particularly Bitcoin mining, has garnered significant attention due to its high energy consumption. According to official estimates, this activity has been utilizing a substantial portion of the nation's grid, ranging from 3% to 4% of the total electricity generated.
