My name is Faiz, my hive friends, and you have started reading my daily blog. Crypto mining has become a business sector for many regions.  When it comes to the governments of the world, they do not have the same answer for this; some have banned mining, while others accept crypto mining, so it depends on the region.  You can also find regions(countries) where crypto and blockchain are allowed and supported, but cryptocurrency mining is not, due to concerns about carbon emissions and energy consumption. If your region provides full support to mining, it can be a niche hobby for you; however, there are still some challenges.

## United States: A State-by-State Approach

Crypto mining is legal in America, but there are differences in states because the United States has multiple states, as you can see in the name. Texas has a good crypto policy, and the energy costs are low, so it is suitable for miners. When it comes to New York, fossil fuel mining is not allowed, so here you can see environmental issues, and this thing is true that it consumes energy. Proof-of-work coins are backed by mining activity. Also, there are certain tax rules for the miners, and they have to report it regularly.

## China: From Leader to Ban

Do you know China was the capital of cryptocurrency mining before 2021? China is a big country and a competitor of powerful countries, and they are also ahead in technology. China is always in favor of centralization, and even the government is a dictator there. They wanted to promote the digital Chinese yuan. 65% of global mining activities were happening in China before 2021, and now there is hidden mining going but there is high risk involved in it. Now, China has completely banned crypto and mining in 2021. 

## El Salvador: Friendly but Limited

I am a fan of this country because it is the first ever supporter of Bitcoin, and this country is a big supporter of Bitcoin.  Also, it was the first ever that add bitcoin as a legal tender. Volcanic geothermal mining is popular there, and the government is investing in it. No strict policy for mining, but if you are mining there, you have to follow the energy law. So yes, El Salvador is a supporter of crypto and its mining.

Germany and Sweden want to ban proof-of-work mining because of the energy consumption, as most of the EU countries focus on environmental sustainability, and they are concerned about carbon emissions and energy consumption.  Talking about Russia, it has cheap electricity and it is quite a big country, but there are problems for foreign investors due to sanctions against Russia, and also, the war tension has remained in these years. 


## Final view points 

Proof-of-work currencies like Bitcoin and Litecoin are generated by mining only, and there are carbon emissions and environmental issues, so mining faces many difficulties. Even though crypto is allowed in many countries but they are still thinking about the mining should be allowed or not. I don't know what will happen with the mining activity, but I would like to know your opinion on that, because it is necessary to see your viewpoints on this. I want to know what the future of crypto mining Please let me know in the comment section. I have shared my opinions and also shared what other countries think about the mining now it is your turn. Have a good day ahead. Good comments will be appreciated take care.
