I'm curious to know, are crypto farms considered illegal? I've heard conflicting opinions on the matter, and I'm trying to get a clear understanding of the legal status of these operations. Could you please elaborate on the legality of crypto farms and any potential regulations or restrictions that may apply to them? I'm particularly interested in how these regulations may vary from country to country.

Among the proposals under consideration, the Biden administration's suggestion of a 30% excise tax on the electricity used by cryptocurrency mining operations stands out as a significant concern for the industry.

If enacted, such a tax would increase the operational costs for miners, potentially making cryptocurrency mining less profitable or even unfeasible in some cases.
