Conceiving, designing, and building an entire, unprecedented, highly complex technology company from scratch as you simultaneously pioneer a brand new industry is a piece of cake, right? Anybody can do it! Especially when, after you've been operating the basics for four years in total compliance with the government, government regulators show up with a sudden, surprise roadblock. Create everything, from business model to physical premises to 100% accurate payment system to user interfaces... Work non-stop for months to years. Have nothing to imitate. Build a team. Employ a lot of people. Bring money from all over the world into the U.S. and Washington State. Pay a lot of taxes to this government that takes over your business and thwarts your extremely hard work, innovation, creativity, courage, initiative. Get scathing insults from people who have never attempted to do anything very hard and will never be the first to invent something unprecedented. And think three months is a long time. (And don't understand contrarian investment strategy.)

Can't agree more with you. Let them all mine at home and pay the retail power costs if they think GW is so incompetent.
