Oddbean new post about login | logout 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. https://m.primal.net/HaEh.png https://m.primal.net/HaEi.png https://m.primal.net/HaEj.png
EIA?
This follows smart meters which are mandatory many places
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.”
They can fuck off.
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
Well well well... 🤭
is this a situation where the states can tell the feds to fuck off out of their jurisdiction?
