Additionally, they talk about what it’s going to take to get more energy companies buying Bitcoin infrastructure to strengthen their earnings and delivery of power to the grid, some considerations that many don’t understand about the mining sector that make it so difficult to compete globally, home mining and why it’s so difficult.
