https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS5dXlYB83MIf that's not torture then I don't know what is. China is taking over the USA with bitcoin mines too. The mines don't benefit the local communities they don't provide anything of value no products or services. All they do is make alot of noise and disrupt peoples' lives. What a disaster. I don't think I like bitcoin anymore.
There are pros and cons but if big mining farms are too closely to urban areas or where locals are living with high density, I believe that there will be more regulatory rules in future to solve these issues and negative impacts of Bitcoin mining activities on locals.
Like many other industries, there will be regulations, more and stricter with time but there is no reason to ban Bitcoin mining industry so my belief goes to good survival and existence of Bitcoin mining farms, under future Acts, Laws and Regulations.
There will be solutions to reduce Cons, and increase Pros, but companies in any industry will not proactively do this. They often wait for official regulations from governments to adjust their industry streams and infrastructures to satisfy requirements. With Bitcoin mining industry, we will witness same progress in future.
