A Trip Inside a Bitcoin Mine
Contemplative coal miner on the graveyard shift in an underground mine in Twilight, WV. Twilight is in Boone County, West Virginia, with a 2010 population of 90. Twenty percent of the population in the county under 65 are listed as having a disability. That could be from mining accidents, air quality, or various other factors. The poverty rate of Boone County is 22.5%, placing it third highest among the 55 WV counties. Jon Chase photo.
