In return, miners claim a fraction of a coin not yet in circulation. Bitcoin's algorithm limits the total amount of coins ever available to 21 million. About 80 percent of Bitcoins have already been mined, or nearly 17 million.\u003cbr/\u003e              The validation process was a garage-operation on private computers at the early age of Bitcoin when returns were low. \u003cbr/\u003e              Genesis Mining, founded in Germany, was an early adopter of industrialising the process, first moving to Iceland in 2014 when the price of Bitcoin fluctuated from 350 US Dollars to 1000 US Dollars. \u003cbr/\u003e              Today the Bitcoin is valued at around 7,000 US Dollars, after peaking at around 19,000 US Dollars in December last year.\u003cbr/\u003e              The currency took a hit in January when China announced it would move to wipe out its Bitcoin mining industry, following concerns of excessive electricity consumption. \u003cbr/\u003e              Rauth says Bitcoin should not be singled out as environmentally taxing. Computing power always demands energy, he argues, comparing Bitcoin to credit card transactions and internet research. \u003cbr/\u003e              \"How much energy is needed for that? This is the same global impact,\" he explains.\u003cbr/\u003e              Keflavik's Bitcoin farms are powered with electricity from the Svartsengi geothermal energy plant about 20 kilometres away. \u003cbr/\u003e              Currently, 50 megawatts are estimated to be used for mining Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in Iceland. \u003cbr/\u003e              Compared with data from Iceland's National Energy Authority, that equals about half of what the island nation of 340,000 people use to power its homes. \u003cbr/\u003e              An energy expert at Svartsengi told the AP that the cryptocurrency industry would likely double its usage this year, given the current growth and interest from foreign investors. \u003cbr/\u003e              Johann Thor Jonsson, director of Data Center Iceland, a business organisation, says Iceland had all the 'ingredients' for a successful Bitcoin base. \u003cbr/\u003e              \"It has the abundance of green electricity, it has the cold climate and is located in a fairly secure location,\" he says. \u003cbr/\u003e              Cold climate is important to cool down the equipment. Data centres at \"Mjolnir\" only have partial walls on each side, using cold winds outside to draft a current of cold air. Large fans, built into the ceiling, push out the hot air stemming from energy angry computers.\u003cbr/\u003e              In the capital Reykjavik, the Bitcoin boom is discussed in a more skeptical tone. \u003cbr/\u003e              The last time Iceland was an international hub for finance, the venture ended with a giant bank crash in 2008, making the country a symbol of the global financial crisis.\u003cbr/\u003e              The political turmoil following the crash swept upstart Pirate Party to Iceland's parliament, currently holding ten percent of seats.\u003cbr/\u003e              Pirate Party MP Smari McCarthy has questioned the value of Bitcoin mining for Icelandic society. Cryptocurrencies, he says, have no \"useful purpose for humans outside the realm of financial speculation.\" \u003cbr/\u003e              He would like Icelanders to consider regulating and taxing the crypto-mining industry. \u003cbr/\u003e              \"Under normal circumstances, companies that are creating value in Iceland pay a certain amount of tax to the government,\" he says, adding: \"These companies are not doing that and we might want to ask ourselves whether they should.\"\u003cbr/\u003e            \u003cbr/\u003e\u003cbr/\u003e              29 January 2018 - Keflavik, Iceland\u003cbr/\u003e              1.
