Officials have singled out illegal #cryptocurrency miners as a strain on electricity grids#Iran #bitcoinnews #Bitcoin #Blackouthttps://t.co/1406wAeLvL
FWIW several Iranian Bitcoiners don’t believe the government and don’t think mining is causing the problems, they think it’s a regime excuse:https://t.co/YqV2E288g1

Everyday, #Iran rulers offer a new way of death and misery to the Iranian people to inflict despair and submission on them. What an exercise in futility! The mullahs are just making the next round of #IranProtests even more explosive.https://t.co/WmSTEyYSuQ

Massive blackouts have hit Iran. Only this time the government is blaming bitcoin mining, an energy-intensive industry that's taken off in Iran due to cheap electricity & high inflation -- & a desire to find ways to work around suffocating U.S. sanctions. https://t.co/EuW74dgyOB
