EP76: Bitcoin Mining with Renewables in NZ with @simonocollins
Manage episode 357795790 series 3001605
There’s nothing a bitcoiner enjoys more than bursting a mainstream narrative.
If we really are “bOiLinG tHE oCEans”, why is it that Simon and his colleagues at www.Stackr.co.nz are Bitcoin mining with renewable energy and providing stability to the electricity grid in New Zealand’s South Island. It really is a head scratcher, isn’t it.
We talk to Simon about:
- The abundance of energy sources the further south you go in New Zealand (Hydro, Wind, Solar and Geothermal)
- Flexible demand management to lift the performance of the grid
- Texas and power purchasing agreements
- Vertical integration with power producers
- The transition from public sector consultant to full-time degen Bitcoin miner
- Is NZ one of the best places to mine
- His progress from CPU to GPU to Shitcoins to Bitcoin mining
- Scaling up, building resilience and staying profitable in a bear market
- The current explosion in hash rate
- Funding
- Home mining
- Using “crypto” as a test bed for anything worth doing on Bitcoin
- Ethereum rugpulls
- Doing a PhD on the last financial crisis
- The duck curve
- Bitcoin Alive
