Well, it's another way to push back at the White House given their negative stance on Bitcoin
And the rest of the world! Other jurisdictions look to the US often on policy guidance & it would sets a very negative precedent for countries like Canada. Also, many outside the US have companies in the US that would get swept up
The US is mulling the RESTRICT Act (aka killer of digital freedoms) & Italy banned ChatGPT
Operation Chokepoint 2.0 cuts off banking for our industry & mining bans are spreading
The countries that embrace tech, freedom & robust digital economies will leapfrog crumbling empires
We're building a Hashrate Army
Does he also go crazy for fire trucks? A lot of kids do in our community
That sucks. Maybe you can redo your mining workshop under the banner of the conf?
Don't be a victim to heat exhaustion!
It's almost an insult π

Policy is challenging as there are so many intersecting issues. If gov should be tech agnostic, but many aren't in the case of mining. They're picking winners and lovers but have a bad record of it. Need to look at bigger picture, especially if a tech can assist with multiple policy mandates (eg low carbon and energy poverty)
One of my files at the Ministry of Energy was energy poverty. I saw some very sad letters to the Minister from people having trouble paying electricity bills. There was a large push in the 80s to switch low income housing to electric baseboard heating. Electricity rates had been going up due to catch up investments in transmission, distribution & generation assets + low carbon push, and affordability was a challenge, particularly for low income / vulnerable consumers. Imo a tech that can help subsidize heating is a big win
