  • #121: The Alternative Renewables

    This episode’s is a recording from Scott’s mining conference where I got to moderate a panel with Jason Williams (Parabolic Guy) and Greg Beard the CEO of Stronghold Digital.

    If you are listening to this on the podcast app, I would highly recommend hoping over to YouTube because Scott’s conference did a fantastic job on the audio/visual for this and the video recording is top notch professional. Also I made Jason put on the Pit Viper sunglasses before starting the interview and he looks awesome.

    This episode we talk about Bitcoin mining with the alternative sources of energy that I would personally consider renewable, even though they are technically coal and oil.

    These guys have both built businesses that are harnessing waste energy to create new viable economic use cases through Bitcoin mining. We also discuss the complexities of having a vertically integrated Bitcoin mining operation.

    Lastly, we touch on how sustainability doesn’t have to mean just wind and solar, it means driving efficiencies in energy consumption. In Bitcoin mining, one man’s wasted energy, is another man’s treasure.

    Hope you enjoy the show!
