Today I am pleased to welcome Jaran Mellerud. Jaran holds a Masters in Energy Management from Nord University in Norway and works at Luxor Energy. His focus is on the bitcoin mining industry. We will discuss why energy is even necessary in bitcoin, how much energy do gold mining and other industries consume, is there enough clean energy for bitcoin, the properties that make bitcoin optimal to develop renewable energy, how bitcoin can become carbon negative, recent hash rate increases and bitcoin price, and much more.
