Today, let's recognize the incredible (and often thankless) service that Bitcoin mining companies give not only Bitcoin, but the world. Bitcoin miners are out there every day catalyzing new renewable energy projects, accelerating renewable microgrid development, making baseload renewable energy projects viable, stabilizing grids, pioneering heat recycling, pushing beyond the boundaries of sustainable energy use any industry has crossed, monetizing previously wasted energy, obviating gas peaker plants and destroying methane emissions. In return, the industry and key players in it have been attacked, maligned, threatened (with fines for not releasing confidential data), gaslit, debanked and for many years faced existential threat on an almost daily basis. Government incentives and fiat economics have failed to either tidy up our environment or guarantee energy security. In fact, they have ushered forth a new wave of consumption-driven waste that has polluted our planet at an ever increasing rate. But Bitcoin mining is quietly getting on with delivering energy independence, taking people out of energy poverty, while Bitcoin continues encouraging saving over consumption, the world over. Thank you to your service @MARAHoldings @IREN_Ltd @CleanSpark_Inc @Hut8Corp @riot and many many more.
