The gap between these bars is the largest asymmetry in Bitcoin right now

Bitcoin mining will never be unprofitable because you can mine for -2c/kWh in an increasing number of places. Increasingly, grids are paying for flexibility as a service, and this need will only increase with more renewables and AI load coming onto grids in parallel.

Media acknowledging what the industry has widely known since 2021: AI datacenters and Bitcoin mining datacenters have a diametrically different impact on grids

~5 years behind actually being "news", but got there in the end

I've made this newsletter edition a special free edition, because
1. It's inspiring story about a guy no-one's heard of, who's achieved something no other Bitcoin has yet achieved

2. There are more useful things to pay attention to right now than the price.
3. There's an important lesson in it that I believe can help Bitcoin adoption

Feel free to share this one widely, including with non-Bitcoiners.It's written for them too.

New paper finds:

Bitcoin mining enables better absorption of surplus renewable generation, minimizing curtailment and supporting higher renewable integration without extra storage or infrastructure costs, creating a win-win for grid stability and mining profitability.

The finding is significant, because it establishes Bitcoin Mining as the only way grid operators can avoid the significant cost of balancing frequency fluctuations and operational cost increases that doesn't involve significant capital outlay on grids with high renewable penetration

The paper Leveraging Bitcoin Mining in Demand-Response to Mitigate Ramping-Induced Transients (Ginzburg-Ganz et al. 2026) was published in Electric Power Systems Research, which has an Impact Factor of 4.2, placing it in the top 12% of academic journals worldwide.

Fragile miners have one revenue stream. Antifragile miners have many. Antifragile miners are how antifragile money gets secured.

The convergence of Bitcoin mining and the energy sector continues

New paper on Bitcoin mining finds that Bitcoin mining operations are extremely flexible loads that supports renewable-led decarbonization by absorbing excess renewable generation

The authors found that operations can curtail demand almost immediately, participate in demand response programs, and provide ancillary services which directly enhances grid stability while enabling higher renewable energy integration

Read that last para again, and compare it to what most people still believe about Bitcoin mining.

The asymmetry between what we now know about Bitcoin mining, and the actions of policymakers and regulators is simply enormous.

I've been meaning to do this for some time.

It's a compilation of free resources for anyone who is looking to

- start a business
- improve their influence skills (honestly and authentically)
- break through habits
- pitch better than the templated way of doing it

Some of the links in the ebooks may be a little old, as I wrote them over a decade ago, but the concepts are still fresh. The ebooks are products that I used to sell, so they are written to a good standard and have proven useful to people.

The pitching video contains a lot of things that I learn raising capital I was for my own startiup, as well as seeing hundreds of pitches as an investor, and hundreds more as a coach.

Enjoy ... and put the ideas to use!
