This session introduces the fundamentals of Bitcoin mining and its role in heat reuse. We’ll cover why mining consumes energy, how it works, and why all that energy turns into heat. Then, we’ll explore how Bitcoin mining heat reuse transforms this byproduct into a valuable asset, creating new opportunities with no counterparty risk. This talk provides the essential context for tradesmen, heating professionals, and innovators before diving into business models, system designs, and the future of Bitcoin-powered heating.
