I honestly could not care less whether crypto mining is or is not a viable business. I don't do it myself, and I don't hold any crypto. I just hate to see yet random tax meant to appease people who are upset over this week's headline and will move on to being upset about something else next week. it's not an effective recipe for addressing actual root causes of problems.
but yeah, I don't really expect anyone to care much about crypto bros getting a targeted shafting. dueling windmills would probably be a better use of my time.
