As blockchain technology continues to transform a growing number of industries, the cost-effective data processing is allowing data center developers to run more efficiently including increasing power use capabilities. Operations have exploded overseas including in China, but now the United States has an amazing opportunity to step up and start taking part in creating mega facilities, or data centers with high computational power for mining that supports the transactions on the blockchain, hopefully diluting China's position in the blockchain market and giving the U.S. a bigger piece. Crypto mining is the necessary computational process of approving cryptocurrency transactions to ensure the integrity of the network since there is no centralized authority overseeing the blockchain ledger network. The rise of blockchain technology, especially for use in crypto mining, means data centers and cloud management services have to adjust to the changing realities on the ground conducive to offering sustainable infrastructures for power. Active tech companies in the markets this week include Mining Power Group, Inc. (OTC: RCGR), Global Blockchain Technologies Corp (OTC: BLKCF) (CSE: BLOC), Pareteum Corp (NYSE: TEUM), MGT Capital Investments Inc. (OTC: MGTI), Big Blockchain Intelligence Group Inc. (OTC: BBKCF) (CSE: BIGG).
