Show Notes

What if your heating system could pay you in Bitcoin? In this episode, I read an article exploring the concept of "heat punks"—Bitcoin miners who use their rigs not just to earn sats, but to heat their homes. The article breaks down the economics of mining-as-heating, from upfront costs to the surprising efficiencies that make it viable. Along the way, I add my own thoughts on the practicality of this approach, the trade-offs involved, and what it could mean for the future of energy use. Could mining rewards turn heat into a byproduct rather than an expense? Let’s dive in.
