The Mayor of Rockdale, Texas, Ward Roddam, credits Bitcoin for revitalizing the town's economy.
Bitcoin miners, such as Riot Platforms and Bitdeer, have repurposed the old Alcoa facility in Rockdale, creating new jobs and generating over $1 billion in investments.
Bitcoin miners actively support community initiatives through donations and sponsorships, benefiting the local economy.
Roddam believes that Bitcoin's growth can fuel the economic revival of rural Texas.
