Mining is the industry for people who literally have no ideas. It is the industry where the product to be delivered and its quantity is pre-ordained for eternity. It is more basic than the business of logging or mining for talc powder. It is no more interesting than janitorial or waste management services, yet is able to draw frenzy from identitarian bitcoiners, who ironically, dilute how special the transition that is upon us is.

The desire for a simulacrum of the thing is an attack on the thing and a detraction from those who desire it sincerely.
