How Bitcoin Mining Can Catalyze Solar Development w/ Max Webster • Contrarian Climate Ep. 1 • The Impact We talked with Max Webster from Version One VC about how Bitcoin Mining with Solar can help accelerate the adoption of solar. His thesis is that when Bitcoin Mining is used to mine Bitcoin during times of abundant or excess solar power you can make solar more profitable.
