Exploring the Latest Trends in Crypto Mining

 Cryptocurrency has been a hot topic in finance for the past few years, with the rise of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies capturing the attention of investors and the general public alike. While the technology behind these digital currencies is complex and still evolving, one of the most significant developments in cryptocurrency has been the emergence of crypto mining. In this blog post, we'll explore the latest news and trends in crypto mining using sources from TheStreet and CryptoNews.


First, let's define what crypto mining is. Mining involves using powerful computers to solve complex mathematical equations in order to verify transactions on a blockchain network. Miners are rewarded with newly created cryptocurrency for their efforts, which they can sell on the open market or hold as an investment. Mining has become an increasingly competitive and lucrative business, with specialized mining hardware and software being developed to optimize the process.


One recent development in crypto mining is a bill proposed in Montana that would provide tax incentives for companies engaged in mining cryptocurrency. According to a report from TheStreet, the bill aims to attract more crypto-mining operations to the state by offering a reduction in property taxes for miners who invest at least $50,000 in new equipment. Supporters of the bill argue that crypto mining can provide a boost to local economies, creating jobs and generating tax revenue.


However, the proposed bill has also faced criticism from some quarters. Critics argue that crypto mining consumes significant amounts of energy, which can be harmful to the environment. Additionally, there are concerns about the potential for crypto mining to drive up energy prices and strain local power grids. Some jurisdictions have even gone so far as to place restrictions on crypto mining in order to address these issues.


Meanwhile, CryptoNews reports that the world's largest cryptocurrency mining company, Bitmain, plans to build a new mining facility in Texas. The facility is expected to be one of the largest in the world, with a capacity of over 300 megawatts. Bitmain's move to Texas is part of a broader trend of crypto mining operations moving to regions with favorable regulatory and economic conditions. Texas, for example, has a deregulated energy market and relatively low electricity prices, making it an attractive location for energy-intensive businesses like mining.


While the future of crypto mining remains uncertain, one thing is clear: it will likely continue to play an important role in the world of cryptocurrency. As the industry evolves and new technologies emerge, we expect to see further developments in the field of mining. Whether these developments will be positive or negative for the wider economy and environment remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: crypto mining is here to stay.

When Government Demands Papers We Refuse

 By Matthew Hayward  9/19/2025  The Supreme Court just paused a lower court order that had limited federal immigration stops in Los Angeles. That stay lets federal agents resume roving patrols and interior operations that critics say rely on appearance, language, job, or neighborhood to pick people for questioning.  This matters because it normalizes a posture of suspicion. Checkpoints miles inland and roving patrols turn movement inside the country into a condition to be earned rather than a freedom to be enjoyed. The government already claims expanded authority inside the 100-mile border zone. That claim, plus an open green light for stops based on appearance, is a recipe for arbitrary enforcement.  Philosophy of resistance John Locke told us that the consent of the governed is the foundation of legitimate power. When rulers invade life, liberty, or property, or when they become arbitrary disposers of people’s lives and fortunes, the social compact is dissolve...

The National Guard Was Never Meant to Be a Federal Tool

By Matthew Hayward 7/13/2025 Let me say this clearly: the National Guard was created to defend the states, not to enforce the will of the federal government. It was meant to serve as a local militia—an armed extension of the people under the control of the state. The highest authority a Guard member was ever supposed to answer to is their elected governor, not a bureaucrat in Washington, not a federal agency, and certainly not a sitting president weaponizing military force on domestic soil. Yes, I know the laws have changed. I know the Montgomery Amendment, the National Defense Act, and the Supreme Court's decision in Perpich v. DoD rewrote the rules. But legal doesn’t mean constitutional. Gradualism doesn’t legitimize usurpation. You don’t get to trample foundational principles and call it progress. What’s happening now—federalizing state forces to deploy them in cities without gubernatorial consent—is blasphemous. It's an insult to the very spirit of the Constitution. The ...

Reality Is Rigged and You Can Hack It

By Matthew Hayward 7/29/2025 Manifesting Reality: How the Matrix, Quantum Entanglement, and Consciousness Intertwine Look, science fiction and science fact have been flirting for decades. But lately, the line between the two is starting to disappear. The idea that we’re living in a simulated reality isn’t just a late-night stoner theory anymore. It’s a framework, a lens to view those weird, unexplained moments that leave you thinking, "What the hell just happened?" Quantum entanglement, synchronicity, manifestation… they all start to make a lot more sense when you stop pretending reality is some rigid, mechanical machine. It’s not. It’s code. And if you’re paying attention, you might just figure out how to rewrite it. NPCs vs Manifestors: Who’s Really Running Things? Picture the world like a massive open-world video game. Some people are just running the default programming. They go to work, follow the script, consume what they’re told, and never ask questions. NPCs. Then the...
