Zhang Nan further stated that the indiscriminate prohibition of Bitcoin mining does not take into account the potential economic benefits that may be brought about by embracing green energy mining. Zhang said mining can provide a solution to the oversupply of electricity in certain areas of the country, where the resulting low energy prices have attracted miners.
“For-profit miners prefer areas with low electricity prices, indicating oversupply and potential waste of energy. Bitcoin miners also help create jobs in poor areas and contribute to finances,” Zhang said.
