    I imagine they lured these big Bitcoin mining investors with offers of "low taxes and low utilities." The local government probably even subsidized some of these huge Bitcoin farms. The local government was probably well aware of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, took a chance, And now it's time for the Bitcoin Miners to PAY.
    Had these huge bitcoin miners consulted with "lil ole' me," I would have told them they were crazy, and to go to Iceland instead. But, then again what do I know?
