I predict in about ten years things will go the other way - they will raid you because they suspect you of participating in cryptographic non-governmental currencies, and if they just find some grow lights and plants you will be fine. It seems like that is the direction of things.

Just conducting transactions in non-governmental currency doesn't use any significant amount of power and can't be detected this way.

Fake currency - Bitcoin

Fake name - Satoshi Nakamoto

Fake planet - Earth

Fine with me! Better to just accept it and move on.
