Mining that actually warms something other than egos.

Mining that actually warms something other than egos.
During a brutal snowstorm in the US, a mining farm keeps a greenhouse cozy at ~27°C… while minting new $BTC.
I love this kind of story because it quietly kills two clichés at once. Yes, mining consumes energy. But here, the waste heat from the machines is reused to heat a greenhouse in the middle of winter. Snow outside, tomatoes chilling inside like it’s late spring. Efficient, simple, almost elegant.
This is what most critics never want to talk about: energy reuse. The miners are running anyway — so instead of venting hot air into nothing, they turn it into something productive. Food, stability, local resilience. Suddenly, the narrative flips from “wasteful” to “multi-purpose infrastructure”.
Bitcoin mining doesn’t have to be dumb or destructive. In the right setup, it becomes modular heating, a flexible energy sink, a tool. Not everywhere, not always — but when it works, it really works.
Crypto isn’t just numbers on a screen. Sometimes, it’s warm air keeping plants alive in a snowstorm. Franchement, j’adore. 🌱🔥
