Currently diving into this edict from the EIA against bitcoin mining operations in the US. It is extremely Orwellian.

It seems like they are trying to create a hyper-detailed registry of miners in the US down to particular ASICs.

EIA?

Energy Information Administration

Like we need one of those.

Then they fight you

This follows smart meters which are mandatory many places

Might as well be the ATF doing their fuckery to gun regulations

At some point, relatively soon, individuals just need to start saying “no.” With confidence and without apology nor fear. They cannot enforce these types of regulations. And a regulation that cannot be enforced is worthless, regardless of its “merit.”

People need to get more serious. We cannot sleep walk into this. We are at

war - and we must beat the psychopaths who want total control over our lives and money.

They can fuck off.

Spying onto what Americans use the electricity they paid for?

Unconstitutional as fuck, this is no China.

Meh, Regulation. You need a permit to build a house, Why not a miner farm? If you really want to escape, There is always the rural areas.

One paper cut won’t kill you, right???

The double edged sword of living in a highly developed and highly indebted economy. Did you know Denmark has the oldest royal family in Europe and only a 36% debt to GDP ratio? America doesn’t even have any medieval castles, And you have to work your life away like a Japanese salaryman. I will do some paperwork to own a money printer.

They came knocking on my door the other day asking about the s/n on my heat pump and dryer💩

This is good for Bitcoin. Cucked hashers with compliance departments will get "regulatory certainty" and get rektd. Real miners will give us the hash rate we need

interesting take.

Hmmmm.

so the states that bend the knee, lose the Bitcoin benefits, and the income, and get wrecked

Jesus christ

Do not comply

Serial numbers and which miner mined what transactions soon?

'Emergency' ?🤔

Should be a collective no from the industry.

Well well well...

🤭

They can go fuck themselves, but ultimately this is good. Too much hashpower in the US

is this a situation where the states can tell the feds to fuck off out of their jurisdiction?
