Seems like yet another clickbaity article. How many times have we seen this same story with different geographies?

Every town on the planet with an internet connection and a chamber of commerce has named itself Silicon Prairie (at least three of them), Silicon Bayou, Silicon Gorge, Silicon Water, Silicon Alps, Silicon Glen, Silicon and on and on.

There's a guy in my tiny one horse town in the middle of nowhere running for mayor right now (unlikely to break 1 digit percent of the vote) that wants to make the town a Bitcoin mining capital.

I should approach him about the possibility of making this the next Silicon Valley so I can be inundated with job offers without having to move.

I was always a fan of the nine (+) different Silicon Beaches

Isn't every beach covered in silica?

You missed my favorite iteration: Silicon Shire.
