Beyond Bitcoin Podcast Ep 63 (audio) - The magic of Bitcoin mining and what makes it so much more than just a power consumer. On off in 60 seconds – decentralised to green energy locations.

Our special guest today, Chris Molloy, Founder of Digital Infrastructure Associates, often refers to Bitcoin miners as the Dung Beetles of the energy market crawling around looking for unused power or power wastage.  With the ability to turn on or off 60-100 megawatts of power (the equivalent of an aluminium smelter) to moderate the power consumption on the grid. Power companies and energy suppliers are starting to see a symbiotic relationship with miners and how it could form part of their business models.  Join us for a discussion of how an isolated island like Tasmania off the south coast of Australia can play a role in the global decentralised world of bitcoin mining.
