Episode notes
Mining As A Buyer Of Last Resort
- Bitcoin mining can act as a buyer of last resort for intermittent renewables and absorb surplus generation.
- Miners can turn on/off in seconds to soak up excess wind or solar output and monetize otherwise wasted energy.
Turning Flare Gas Into Value
- Mining can convert wasted flare gas into value by generating electricity onsite.
- Turning wasted energy into Bitcoin unlocks new economic value and reduces wasteful emissions.
Mining's Second Output: Useful Heat
- Mining produces two outputs: Bitcoin and heat, because all electricity becomes heat in chips.
- That waste heat can serve industrial heating needs, creating additional value beyond coin issuance.
