Show Notes

... And one of the greatest natural subsidies for renewable energy we could've asked for.  

Today we hit a piece by Daniel Wingen. A thorough breakdown of the essence of mining, the necessity of its energy expenditure, the incentives for efficiency and renewable sources, and the unbelievable cost that is being rescued from wasteful alternatives. Not only is Bitcoin's energy consumption not a problem, it could be exactly what we need for a brighter future.

Check out the full article and many links to other great works. A number of great charts and tables illustrating the argument to explore as well:
