A friend sent this video to me, I have not watched it yet but I feel compelled as a territory owner to share any news both good and 'bad'
We went to a small Texas town where one Bitcoin mining facility uses as much power as the entire city of Austin. Everyone is town is affected by the constant noise from the crypto facility, even the animals. One resident told us: "Every person here is sick."
about the channel:
More Perfect Union is an Emmy-winning, nonprofit newsroom whose mission is to build power for working people. Here’s what that means: We report on the real struggles and challenges of the working class from a working-class perspective. We attempt to connect those problems to potential solutions. We report on the abuses and wrongdoing of corporate power. And we seek to hold accountable the ultra-rich who have too much power over America’s political and economic systems.

omg, much apologies
how did I miss this???
Let us know your thoughts after you finish watching it
Feel bad for these people, either they should get a benefit from the mining, and then equip their home with special sound-absorbing insulation, or have a program to welcome deaf citizen to move there ...
They should receive compensation for noise pollution
As a long-term bitcoiner, I have no problem admitting this is definitely a valid concern and annoyance from their angle. It may only affect a relative handful of people however and there's no stopping this global industry, so IMO, Mara should make it right with the few homeowners somehow, generously buy their home perhaps.

Texas is the Oasis!
Crazy how a tech meant to empower can end up disturbing real lives. Hoping they find a better balance.
