Riots are over LPG prices, used in cars, and villagers' kitchens. It is composed of heavier weight alkanes, propane, butane and heavier. It's not the same as the natgas used for power generation, which is almost entirely methane. Not every energy crisis in the wolrd is caused by Bitcoin, which literally uses less energy than gamers or heated pools. |

...think very carefully and very slowly about the following question: so what?
(The answer to that question will betray a wild misunderstanding of the political economy of Kazakhstan.)
> Not every energy crisis in the wolrd is caused by Bitcoin
Hm. I don't remember saying otherwise. I must have stuttered?
> which literally uses less energy than gamers or heated pools.
Globally. In Kazakhstan it consumes 8% of production, which is insane. 8% is a fucking huge number in a country experiencing an energy crisis.
Hell, it's a huge number period. By percentage comparison, that's all refrigeration and freezing in the US. Can you imagine? Insane.
Anyways, this is all beside the point. I'll avoid stuttering this time and repeat myself clearly and slowly this time:
>> But, whatever. Suppose I concede this point that coal consumption doesn't really have much of anything at all to do Kazahktan's current unrest. Doesn't that make nalrey's comment here totally moot?
