The poor population of those countries needs that cheap energy to not freeze to death and in general for everyday living.


So ration is accordingly. Just telling everyone they can have enough energy to run a Bitcoin mining op, and then being surprised when they run a Bitcoin mining op seems silly...


So, if everyone was mining Bitcoin, they would earn around US$0.15 per month (assuming 8e9 people, a 6.25 BTC coinbase mining reward every 10 minutes plus some 10% transaction fees, at a price of US$40,000/BTC, and zero energy/mining rig cost). Yay, Bitcoin is solving global poverty!
