I had the awesome chance to visit a Bitcoin mining site in Gunma, Japan operated by Agile Energy X, a subsidiary of TEPCO Power Grid.
Agile Energy X is led by Kenji Tateiwa and is utilising 50KW of solar that would otherwise be wasted as the site is currently awaiting grid upgrade and connection. The Bitcoin mine is highly modular and scalable and can be moved to another location once the grid upgrade is completed!
The site is operated by TEPCO Renewable & Power, a major utility provider. I think this is a big step forward for broader engagement with power generators about how Bitcoin can help the grid and for understanding the opportunity to participate in this new monetary network.
I think there is a lot to share about the power of Bitcoin mining to act as both a load balancing and grid stabilisation tool, as well as helping with the ROI and financial planning of new generation assets.
I tagged along with Mark and Robert at OCEAN and learned a whole lot about their mission to further decentralise the Bitcoin mining ecosystem, as well as the legendary Luke Dashjr who has played a pivotal role in the security and decentralisation of Bitcoin mining.

"honestly was not consciously in orange pill mode."
Sometimes I think my best orange pill moments are derived from this sort of mindset. Perhaps it removes the "this person is trying to sell me something" vibe from the listeners perspective.
I was in Vegas recently playing poker and wonderfully enough a small business owner, a young left-leaning guy, and myself had a really nice back and forth conversation about bitcoin that all started with talking about inflation and why it exists and how it's effecting each one of us. Both of these guys were really receptive to what i had to say because it was just a conversation that wasn't started by me and i really had no intent to orange pill. However, I was getting some serious head nods of understanding and intrigue as i spoke my piece on some potential solutions to the issues that they were both organically bringing up. I unfortunately didn't bring up the amazing case for peer to peer charity.
