hear me out: the trump admin didnt do anything to iran's nuclear weapons capabilities, they bombed a bitcoin mining facility, or that's how iran wants it to appear.
the tempered 'proportional' response in qatar would have been much worse if there was any threat to them having nukes
look at hash rate right around the time the bombs dropped:
an earlier post about this flew under the radar
if those b2 stealth bombers attacked anything related to nuclear enrichment, then it was powering bitcoin miners
or so we are led to believe. maybe iran just pulled to plugs to make it appear that way?
anyway a quick and dirty sn search on the topic shows a history of iran working on bitcoin mining over the last few years

I do enjoy a good conspiracy theory, but this seems more consistent with Israel’s 30+ years of lying about a nuclear weapons program to justify attacking Iran.
So what you're saying is that it should get some traction, right
I hope so
why not? bitcoin is arguably as strategic for a country as nukes and the energy infrastructure would be directly related
of course, if bitcoin were their m.o., it would be to everyone's advantage to downplay this and serve the same lie that's clearly been working for them

Well... I might take a guess that Israel targeted energy facilities. And the best place to mine Bitcoin is where electricity is being produced.
So I don't think they specifically targeted Bitcoin miners, but it could have been an extra with the destruction of a local grid.
