some ppl say with the whole electricity bill of the whole miners you could end the world hunger.

How much electricity do you think their computers must be using - more than a steel mill or something?  Grin

Way, way more! Look at these pictures of the KNC Bitcoin mining center: http://imgur.com/a/CcIhX

So more than 9 megawatts then?

World hunger is the reason for world hunger.  Third world countries pouring their economies into military, industry, or commodities instead of their own people, is the reason there is world hunger.

There is no correlation with Bitcoin and world hunger.  Some of these countries don't even have readily available internet and/or electricity.  Blame their leaders and government for keeping it this way!

You could solve the world hunger by selling all of the submarines that the U.S. has, they are mainly used for corporate reason to steal data, concepts etc so the change wouldn't be noticeable by the average American.

Now the U.S. is the reason for world hunger.

Your title of the thread is all messed up.  No, it's logically impossible to argue that Bitcoin is the REASON for world hunger. If you wanted to argue that all Bitcoin miners should stop mining and instead donate the electric cost to end world hunger, that might be true, but it's not going to happen.

The revolution will be digital
bitcoin started in 2009

world hunger was around before 2009

bitcoin did not cause world hunger

Fantastic reply and 100% true. Bitcoin did not coz the problem ...why should it be blamed for that ? Its like blaming Bitcoin for a murder ...as if it could not have happened with cash. Or blaming E=mc^2 for Hiroshima & Nagasaki.

Offtopic: @zimmah You may like to get rid of your current sig. Qoinpro does not pay.

With the costs that occur in the current financial system, world hunger could probably be ended thousands of time.

At least provide some data to support this claim... or else this topic may soon find its place it speculation.
