Central Bank of Sweden: Due to high energy consumption, bitcoin mining should be banned

The Central Bank of Sweden has issued a report saying that the extraction of digital currencies, especially bitcoin, which consumes a lot of energy, should be banned. "Some digital currency extractions have recently taken place in northern Sweden, consuming as much electricity as 200,000 households a year," the Swedish Central Bank said in a report entitled "Digital Currencies and Their Impact on Financial Stability".
