I'm tired of reading news articles criticizing the massive computing power used in BTC mining as a waste. Can these large media corporations not afford a bit a fact checking. They only need to dedicate an hour or two to research the way bitcoin works before writing about it, but evidently that is too much for the modern news writing/click-baiting generation. On a positive note, it is really encouraging to see that the bitcoin infrastructure has grown to the point where the danger of a single entity taking control of it has almost completely faded.
