  • Following China’s crackdown on bitcoin mining, the US now leads the world in bitcoin mining.

    China was once the leading bitcoin mining country, accounting for roughly 75% of all mining. Recently, however, the Chinese government has cracked down on cryptocurrencies, making all transactions and mining illegal.
