😅 America is once again making mining "the greatest"... but not on its own

The Trump administration has cheerfully tightened the screws: now the import of ASIC miners from Southeast Asia is subject to a tariff of up to 21.6%. China is still "in favor" — 57.6%, thanks for not making it 145%. Apparently, Bitcoin should only be mined with patriotic whistling and inside a white-blue box "Made in USA".

💡 In theory, this should encourage the launch of domestic production. In practice, miners are already packing their bags and flying to places where it is warm, cheap, and no one frightens them with tariffs: Canada, Latin America.

⚙️ Manufacturers from China like MicroBT and Canaan are already moving to the USA, like IT professionals to Dubai — just to avoid taxes. Bitmain is also keeping up: it promises to build its first factory in the USA by the end of 2025. However, the raw materials are still from Asia, so it turns out expensive, but patriotic.

🇺🇸 Luxor Technology is now hoping that "mining hardware" will be excluded from the tariff list.

🛠 Perhaps, in about 5 years, the USA will indeed start assembling its own ASICs. For now, the industry will continue to dig where it's cheaper. All according to the classics: the American dream — Chinese assembly, South American outlet.
