Bitcoin isn’t just digital gold — it’s electricity money. In this episode, Jacob Scanlan from the Hashpower Academy explains how Bitcoin and energy are inseparable, why mining creates a global buyer of last resort for electricity, and how this is reshaping civilization itself. We explore how Bitcoin and electricity price each other in sync, why mining creates a fluctuating price floor for both power and Bitcoin, the real economics of yield and where it comes from, and how waste heat from mining is already being reused to fuel homes and businesses. More than just mining, this is a story about a new foundation for money, energy, and society. This conversation will change how you see both money and the future of civilization.
