Be aware: According to The New York Times, Bitcoin mining operations under Chinese ownership or management have been discovered in no fewer than 12 states, including Arkansas, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Wyoming. The energy consumption of these sites is on par with that of 1.5 million households. Previously, there were apprehensions regarding Saudi Arabia; now, similar concerns are surfacing about China. The issue lies in their use of American resources while they protect their own. Furthermore, the team at Microsoft responsible for evaluating national security threats has voiced worries over a Chinese-operated cryptocurrency mining facility. This facility is notably close to a Microsoft data center that provides services to the Pentagon, and it's situated near an Air Force base in Cheyenne, Wyoming, which oversees nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missiles.
