Is it so energy-intensive ?

Crypto mining is a big thing in the world thus also in Russia. Resources mention that at the moment in Russia crypto miners are using more energy than the nation’s agricultural sector. Crypto miners and the central bank in Russia have different opinions about crypto mining. The crypto miners want to introduce a system where miners would be forced to register with a central governing body. The central bank however wants to ban all forms of crypto trading and ownership in Russia. Where ass the ministry already has been thinking of creating a separate bill on crypto pay in international trade, with a view of introducing it in 2023. However, due to the current political situation in Russia, this needs to be reconsidered.
