#28 Bitcoin's twin revolution
How Bitcoin is unexpectedly rewriting the way humans use energy
What if Bitcoin revolutionizes energy as much as it does money?
What if the impact of Bitcoin’s energy revolution was as positive to humanity as the impact of Bitcoin’s monetary revolution?
What if right under our noses Bitcoin’s impact on energy was already as big as Bitcoin’s impact on money?
When Satoshi created Bitcoin, he birthed not just a monetary revolution, but the twin revolutionary forces of a new approach to money and a new approach to energy.
While Bitcoin’s monetary revolution was by design, the energy revolution is by accident. For this reason, it often doesn’t get the same coverage and attention.
Over the next three newsletters, I’ll be unpacking how Bitcoin mining and the energy sector are about to collide. This accidental Bitcoin revolution is already showing signs of reshaping humanity in a way that has the potential to impact all of our lives.
In this issue, I cover the five reasons why convergence between energy and Bitcoin mining is happening at pace.
In the next issue, I’ll do a deep dive into case studies of where Bitcoin mining and energy is already converging.
In the third issue of the series, I’ll look at future trends, what the world of the near future could look like for energy and Bitcoin companies, and where the new opportunities lie.
Across these three issues, I’ll be sharing new data I’ve been gathering from Bitcoin mining companies, nuclear engineers, renewable energy pioneers, and even landfill experts on why I believe strongly that Bitcoin’s impact on energy will be as big as its impact on money.
In subsequent issues, I’ll also share why Bitcoin’s energy revolution includes AI. I’m not talking of the well-documented pivot of Bitcoin mining companies to AI, but why in the future every AI hyper-scaler will need to be a Bitcoin miner.
Let’s get started:
