You Won’t Believe What Arkansas Lawmakers Did to Crypto Mining! 😱🤯

In a shocking turn of events, the Arkansas Senate has rejected a bill that would have prohibited crypto mining near military bases. 🤦‍♂️ Apparently, they’re more interested in lining their pockets than protecting national security. 💰

The bill, which was introduced by Senator Ricky Hill and Representative Brian S. Evans, aimed to address the “risks posed by digital asset mining” near military facilities. 🔒 But the lawmakers said, “Nah, we’re good. Let the crypto bros do their thing!” 🤷‍♂️

“This act is immediately necessary in order to ensure the health and safety of the State of Arkansas and its citizens,” the bill read. 🤔 Guess the senators didn’t get the memo.

Meanwhile, North Dakota is taking a different approach, with a bill that would protect the “Right-to-Mine, Right Self-Custody, Right to Peer-2-peer Transactions, and Right to Run a Node.” 👏 Way to go, North Dakota! 🇺🇸

But in Arkansas, it’s all about that crypto cash. 💸 President Trump, who’s now serving his second term, has been a big supporter of the domestic Bitcoin mining industry. 🤑 Looks like the Arkansas senators are taking a page from his playbook.

So, if you’re a crypto miner looking to set up shop near a military base, Arkansas is the place to be! 🤑 Just don’t expect any security measures to protect your operations. 🤷‍♂️

What a time to be alive, am I right? 😂 Arkansas lawmakers are really showing us how to prioritize crypto over national security. 🤦‍♂️
