Yeah, fuck the Crypto Bros and all, but the noise is the only documented trigger here. I can believe that exposure to constant, loud noise can cause health issues, but the rest of it reads like a copy-paste about the dangers of 5G cell towers. I find it hard to believe that noise can cause ear infections, or cause plants to die.

Its fashionable to blame the crypto bros for everything, because they are insufferable twats. But the real blame lies with the State that lets businesses generate noise with impunity.

While this is easy to dismiss as "crypto bros being themselves" it's worth mentioning that this is run by Marathon Energy who owns the power plant that the mining boxes were built to surround. This isn't just "crypto bros" but a multinational oil and energy company that opted to skip a data center building and used conex boxes with turbo fans. The fans output jet engine 90+ decibels.

The real story is that Marathon used their fossil fuel lobby to push through Bitcoin laws that limit any restrictions, so even if the town wanted to they would need to compete with a leading fossil fuel provider, and no municipality has that kind of money. Major corporate interests are jumping on this opportunity and limiting their opposition early.

Bitcoin mining industry is urgently trying to push bills through state legislatures, including in Indiana and Missouri, which would exempt Bitcoin mines from local zoning or noise ordinances. In May, Oklahoma governor Kevin Stitt signed a “Bitcoin Rights” bill to protect miners and prevent any future attempts to ban the industry.

All you need to know. Treasonous motherfuckers throwing their own countrymen under the bus for lobby money.

Yes, but something something fiat currency!

People talk so much about how *latest technology* is killing them, like wind turbines, cell phones, etc. Meanwhile cars are literally killing hundreds of people every day and we don't do anything about it.
