Sometimes it is easy for people to mistakenly frame bitcoin mining as the panacea to fix all the problems of the future of energy grid.
Nobody is suggesting it will be the ultimate solution, but it will certainly be a key player in the future energy/demand mix.
Bitcoin mining will play a part alongside a host of other solutions such as hydro, pumped hydro, battery storage and hydrogen production to name just a few.
What is apparent, however, is that Bitcoin mining can help reinforce the economics behind all of these projects.
Flexible Demand-Side loads ARE the panacea for future energy grids, Bitcoin mining is not the ONLY demand-side flexible load. It is simply the BEST demand-side flexible load.

We'll need for the MSM to get the update that Bitcoin is good for the environment.
It's going to be weird seeing legacy system incentives aligning with Bitcoin's.
