Crypto Mining Melts the Snow

Text on the meme

2010s: Someone's growing weed. 2020s: Someone's mining crypto.

What it means

A snowy row of houses has a large snow-free patch on one roof, suggesting intense heat from indoor activity. The joke compares the stereotypical hidden rooftop heat of a 2010s marijuana grow operation with cryptocurrency mining rigs in the 2020s. It is used as a reaction to conspicuous crypto mining or excessive electricity use. EN: A snowy row of houses has a large snow-free patch on one roof, suggesting intense heat from indoor activity.
