  1. Young employees live
    a simple and dull life
    in the mine, deep
    inside the remote
    valley. Mobile
    phones are
    their sole
    companions.
    2. The former
    power plant
    employees’
    dorms are
    now stuffed
    with computer
    packing boxes.

  2. The enormous noise
    and high temperatures
    make the mines an
    unbearable place to stay.
    People often compare
    their first time in a bitcoin
    mine to “entering a
    beehive.”

  3. Shenzhen has become
    the primary producer
    of computers slated to
    produce bitcoin.

  4. Living quarters are
    basic for the mining
    teams.

  5. On night shift, Kun’s
    younger brother finds a
    machine working poorly.
    He fixes it by hooking
    it up to another power
    supply and rebooting.
