Met some cruisers who made it all the way to Ocean Falls(?!), they said there's nothing left there of the overgrown soviet looking town except an electric dam connected directly to a massive bitcoin farm.

@neauoire Nick was there with Argonaut II after he split from Tally Ho. In his recent video he has drone footage of the place starting at 3:15. Have a look for yourself when you have bandwitdh: youtu.be/VLTJuyaCzts?si=XOtjJr

@neauoire I was there about 20 years ago for my grandparent’s 50th wedding anniversary (they met in Ocean Falls after WWII), and it was definitely getting overgrown, somewhat surreal even at that time.

Bitcoin mine is pure wasteful destruction, but maybe better than the pulp & paper mill that was there before? When it’s a “HyperScale AI Processing Node” we may sigh wistfully and think of the good old early 20’s.
