Cryptocurrency has never been an easy-going affair for the government ever since it surfaced in 2009. A programmer or maybe a group of programmers with a pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto launched the decentralized digital currencies with blockchain technology named Bitcoin and laid the foundation stone for more Altcoins(Cryptocurrencies that emerged after Bitcoin). These currencies face major criticism for being volatile, and heavy electricity consumption for mining. 

According to the Bitcoin Energy Consumption Index issued by The Digiconomist, 1,544 kWh energy is consumed in completion of a single Bitcoin transaction, which is equivalent to 53 days of power consumption of average households in the US.
