Just to point out the obvious, the headline is heavily editorialized and misleading.
Current HN headline: "Bitcoin miners are buying power plants"
Actual headline: "A New Threat to New York’s Clean Energy Goals: Bitcoin Mining"
It's trying to imply that buying power plants is some hot new trend, but the article is about a single crazy dude in New York buying a single plant.
- le-mark 6y agoI have sources who have purchased hydro plants in South America and refineries with installed power production and use the excess capacity for mining. My feeling it’s more common than a single crazy dude.
