Fungibility - Kevin O’Leary says he will only buy bitcoin mined with clean energy, and none mined in China

This is one of the issues which currently plague bitcoin.

Coin source should not be determinable by anyone, even with good intentions. The same technology that allows Mr wonderful here to refuse to buy coins from china, can allow china to refuse to buy coins from western world. Taproot, schnorr aggregated signatures and other technologies are vital as a protection against this.
