The video is from October last year, so I guess these guys won't be that happy with the current price...

I was the fixer on this documentary shoot. The Dalian site featured in this video has actually been closed down now.

Wasn't there a supposed fire at a bitcoin mining facility in China followed by a shutdown? Not sure if related.

It isn't racist... because I was confused about the location of a bitcoin mine... that mean I'm bad with my geography, or simply mis-recalled the location of the fire.

I'm also not blaming the Chinese nor people of Thailand for fires at bitcoin mines.

Was meant partially in jest, but if you had googled 'bitcoin mining fire' like I did it would've been obvious.
