its a misunderstanding that The Amish eschew all technology

They dont want technology to falsely elevate and benefit only certain members of their community

So, sometimes they have one community phone (like a payphone) that all community members can access, for business deals with “the English” or outsiders

You could set up The Amish with a bitcoin mining farm, and make sure the proceeds/benefits go to the entire community

This might cause idealogical diviision, though, because a lot of their lifestyle is a “flex for God” and they want God to know they’ve been faithful and not being immoral with Bitcoin on the “devils’ playground”
