Time to pack up your ASICS and get out of the US. Lots of big mining operations being built around the world, so it's not as if this is the end of mining. Lots of other mining operations ready to capitalise on the US miners being forced out.

Maybe Elizabeth Warren can have a word with the EIA and tell them we like Bitcoin now

Exactly! I don't understand why these companies put up with this bullshit. The US is going to wish they encouraged mining rather than pushing it out.

Absolutely, I'm constantly reading of another mega million dollar mining operation opening up in the UAE, Africa, & El Salvador. They'll be more than happy for an extra block or two.

Heck, the dutch are even using the excess heat to warm their greenhouses

Go where you're treated the best

Somehow they care about miners but LITERAL coal, oil and gas plants don't or plastic industry, flights, cars, etc?

They've been bribing, sorry lobbying, the gov for decades. Maybe the Larry F can spend some of his squillions and start batting for our side or our new mate Liz

Looks like the China mining FUD but for the US, time to stealth mine or pack up your ASICS and distribute the hash rate, this hash war was the US's to lose after China packed up shop, while the US will still be a leader, will be interesting to see which countries open up to miners looking for a new residency

Personally I think you've gone too far there me old son. You need to back up the attitude somewhat. We all have an opinion and that's fair enough, we don't have to agree. You state your case and we can either agree or disagree. But when you're calling people dumb as fuck, you've over stepped the line.

The point I'm trying to make is this could be the start of government overreach and who knows where this is going and how it will end, plus it could make companies think twice or at least be hesitant with investing in future mining operations.
