Why not just move to an offgrid place that have a river nearby and put a hydro generator on it and mine BTC for free?
I think will be much cheaper and sovereign then looking for a urban house and still paying for electricity.
Yes, I mentioned that in one of my replies. In the US it's not that simple, but it's a great idea. The US keeps very tight control of all but the smallest streams. I have actually talked to people who know a lot about this stuff. Environmental regulations are strict. It's particularly tough if you have land with, say, river frontage. Its easier for a stealth operation with a stream or spring surrounded by your own land.

Fuck environmental regulations!
You are a lawyer, you know the tricks.

The problem is being discovered and losing all the hydro equipment.

Exactly. 😀 I have thought about this more than you would believe. There are huge wooded land areas for sale all over the US. Many of them are very cheap, because they are completely surrounded by tracts owned by other people. Newbies think they get a great deal by buying lots of acres, but they can't use it. They can't even visit it. Many of these properties have good springs and streams, and they are very private. BUT, you either have to sneak on someone else's land, get permission from your neighbor, take a manned drone to your property and bring in equipment, etc. It would be an intense operation. This type land was used by marijuana growers back in the day to grow secret crops.
