As much I empathize with the people in Eastern Washington this one is similar to any other stories out there like "This is what happens when X take over your town" and x can be Walmart, Amazon HQ, or any other big company.
Things like price increases follows as people start moving and most of the time smaller towns are not equipped to handle the influx.

- walrus01 9y agoBitcoin mining has by no means "taken over" Wenatchee and East Wenatchee. If you go there and drive around what you'll see is ordinary businesses, fruit warehouses, huge numbers of fruit farms, etc. And then the datacenters which are in East Wenatchee and Quincy. It's just a weird aberration of people setting up super cheap facilities for ASIC mining that need huge amounts of electricity, but very little network infrastructure. Compared to the Sabey and Vantage datacenters an Ethereum mine needs only a few dozen Mbps for a WAN link, at most.
