What is it: This shows bitcoin's ROI vs other potential inflation hedge assets.

Why it matters: As with the historical bitcoin price table, we see bitcoin's extreme outperformance vs other assets here as well. Bitcoin's relatively small size, plus fundamental properties, yield extreme outperformance when even relatively small funds-flows find their way to BTC.

Bitcoin Mining and Renewable Grid Energy


 

Square Crypto and ARK Invest released a report last week evaluating the potential for bitcoin mining to spur deployment of solar and other renewables across the global energy grid. The analysis suggests that bitcoin mining can have a substantial net-positive environmental impact:

story image

The key observation is that solar and wind are intermittent power sources, and therefore more difficult to profitably deploy at utility scale, since energy generation must always be matched with energy demand at that moment. But bitcoin mining can act as an 'energy buyer of last resort', allowing utilities to 'over build' solar and wind, and simply channel that energy into bitcoin mining when the rest of the grid is not demanding it. See the report for further detail.

tldr

  • Critics assail bitcoin for its energy use, without understanding that the net-positive impact bitcoin can have on power grids and CO2 emissions
  • Deployment of bitcoin mining capacity across the energy grid would make a 51% attack on bitcoin dramatically more difficult than it already is
  • This deployment would also turn bitcoin into key infrastructure, further discrediting the notion that governments will ultimately ban bitcoin
  • Bitcoin mining is also currently being deployed to monetize otherwise flared natural gas - a far cleaner alternative to burning it

Are we missing a recent story that makes the case for bitcoin?
