New York is 4th largest Bitcoin mining state in USA, and has world’s first Mayor (Eric Adams) to receive his salary in Bitcoins, but it is going to Ban Mining in the name of environment.
A legislation banning proof-of-work cryptocurrency mining has been introduced in the New York legislature, if passed, there will be no license renewal and no permission for new mining rigs in the state for two years.
Nevertheless, most Bitcoin miners now use renewable energy, therefore they are unconcerned, and even ready to move to any mining friendly state.
