What are everyone's thoughts on the Navajo Nation's Bitcoin mining operation? There's been a bit of debate surrounding it as of late.
some reading:
I'm mostly interested in sparking a discussion here.

Sounds to me like ntua might've been trying to make a quick buck for themselves tbh. I don't know if colonialism is quite the right word though. The problem seems like they had too much power and not enough infrastructure. They should tax the shit out of that mining opperation til they have enough money to hook up the rest of their community with electricity then end their contract with the mining company now that they have somewhere for the power to go.
