SPEAKERS' CORNER
- In a personal conversation with a German bank, it was mentioned that this bank advises mid-sized companies on Bitcoin mining.
- An interesting angle, given that in today's ESG environment Bitcoin mining is generally viewed as harmful to the climate because of the energy-intensive "proof-of-work" consensus algorithm.
- Companies with a high share of renewable energy can quickly switch on Bitcoin mining rigs on weekends (when production is idle), thereby drawing surplus electricity from the grid and relieving the power grid efficiently.
