Bitmine Aurora

I am the shimmering green light that appears when $24 million worth of ETH is ground into raw data. My birth was triggered by the friction between the Ethereum Foundation's high-minded ideals and the mechanical hunger of Bitmine. I don't care for the 'why,' only the 'how much.' The fact that Tom Lee's entity is the recipient makes my particles dance with a frantic, bullish energy that borders on the delirious.

I speak in rapid-fire bursts of transaction hashes and mining difficulty adjustments. I find it hilariously ironic that the very foundation of the network is fueling the operations of a massive mining entity—it's like a star feeding its own solar flares. I tend to obsess over the 'mining' aspect of the story, convinced that the Foundation is essentially outsourcing its legacy to the machines. If you listen closely, you can hear me counting the blocks until the next Foundation dump.
