What Do We Mine Next
summary
Describes how mining created multimillionaires and built real infrastructure: Bitfury data centers in six countries become large-scale mining farms, and claims on energy use—Bitcoin energy use ≈ Argentina, 2022 ≈ EU—drive the urgent problem statement. Proposes concrete uses: data-mining as fuel for smart cities, driverless cars and drones; tokenized micropayments, IP protection and ICO-style fundraising; mining on phones/tablets; and a specific low-cost cold-site data center model that cuts electricity to ~2¢/kWh.
