I already talked a lot about energy use by crypto scam - https://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/18493/degradation-more-on-crypto-currency-humanity-crime-and-electricity
But inside community of presstitutes (aka writers of one large online site covering tech and similar stuff, very popular) it is considered no-no subject.
It is not only impossible to write anything that will link CO2, global warming and crypto scam (as it can make mess in people heads, because same people will be both against and for the same thing). Authors understand it clearly for long, as it won't pass even initial review.
But it is also advisable to never touch any of this subjects in their own social media accounts or via email. Even in private encrypted chat they are very cautious and usually ask to use tools that will have such chats auto deleted.
Crypto scam is now sacred topic, as owners give clear instructions to support it, help new currencies and do everything to keep valuation at high levels.
Turkey added cryptocurrency trading platforms to the list of firms covered by anti-money laundering and terrorism financing regulation, it said in a presidential decree published early on Saturday.
The Official Gazette said the country's latest expansion of rules governing cryptocurrency transactions would take immediate effect and cover "crypto asset service providers", which would be liable to the existing regulations.
Last month Turkey's central bank banned the use of crypto assets for payments on the grounds such transactions were risky. In the days that followed two Turkey-based cryptocurrency trading platforms were halted under separate investigations.
It is good measures.

This is standard Cloudfire screen made to prevent diversity in communities via so called "DDOS protection" solution.
Certain races and places are considered as "ddos attackers", no matter that.
I talked to few people who run communities and they agreed that members activity from Eastern Europe, exUSSR and Asia, especially China, dropped significantly. As Cloudfire consider almost all of them as criminals and make it very hard for them to participate.
Of course, Cloudfire also sells results of their recognition captcha for reinforcement learning in object classification. :-) They are greedy bastards, after all.
For many corporate sites "protection plans" Cloudfire have such default state of checkmarks that visitors from same countries won't have any screen, instead connection will be dropped totally.
Companies are considering to use HDD capacity to mine Chia crypto currency.
Presently it brings around 10x more profits compared to consumer cloud plans.
Wholesale HDD priced doubled already, retail prices for large drives triples in most countries.
It can be real reason behind chip shortages.
Taiwan authorities now lie about private orders that they give to factories to restrict production and turn off lines.
By May 20, Google must comply with the decision of the Moscow Arbitration Court and restore the account of the Tsargrad TV channel on the YouTube video service - or file an appeal. Otherwise, the Russian LLC Google will be charged a progressive court penalty in favor of Tsargrad Media: its initial value will be 100,000 rubles for each day of non-execution of the court's decision, and the amount will double every week.
According to the estimates of the law firm Baker & McKenzie, which acted as Google's representative in court, in seven months the amount of the penalty will reach 94 trillion rubles and will almost equal the capitalization of Google's parent company, Alphabet.
