One of the projects we're scoping out right now is a two gigawatt mining farm, which is two thousand megawatts, which is massive. But if that mining farm , or when that mining farm gets built, it will be ten percent of the GDP of the country that it is in.

Top energy sources for bitcoin mining:
  • Nuclear
  • Fusion (upcoming)
  • Geothermal
  • Hydro
"Those are the four best energy sources to me that, as a society, we should be focused on. Each has pros and cons to it, but they're renewable, and they're 24x7."
