"That's the main reason I like doing this Bitcoin stuff so much, because it's connected to the real world. It's proof of work. Like, I can't sit on my computer and come up with a more logical code base or a different way to attack and get more Bitcoin. I've got to actually go out there and create something, some physical thing. And if I don't do that, it doesn't work, right? So it is proof of work at the very most fundamental level. And I love it."

Bitcoin is often dismissed as magic internet money, but what happens when you harness that digital energy to physically heat your world?

In this episode, I sit down with Cade Peterson to explore the inner workings of mining bitcoin for heat. We discuss his journey from Air Force mechanic to turning a local bank and a concrete plant into Bitcoin-heated fortresses. Cade explains the fascinating economics of heating systems that pay you back and why the tax man might actually be on your side here. We also dig into the philosophy of "boots and hammers" and why getting your hands dirty is the ultimate form of sovereignty. Is it time to stop over-thinking the thermodynamics and just build something? Let's find out.
