>Is the libertarian dream of bitcoin as an unregulated global currency about to be destroyed by municipal electricity companies?

Sounds like author has no idea what he’s talking about.

That never happens when reporters talk about cryptocurrenices.
Libertarian 'dreams' are routinely destroyed when faced with reality.

(I can't wait for that 'crock o shit' libertarian sea nation to get it's first visit from the libertarian pirate nation.)

There is absolutely zero chance of municipal electricity companies destroying bitcoin. Cutting off some miners will not destroy bitcoin. Raising electricity costs aren’t going to destroy bitcoin.

This isn’t about libertarian dreams, that’s just not at all how PoW works.

The author is clearly utterly clueless (or intentionally trolling).

If you happen to disagree, I’d absolutely love to know how municipal electricity companies could even hurt bitcoin.
