In this episode of HashrateUp, Jesse sits down with Max Obwexer, Co-Founder & CEO of 21energy, to explore how Bitcoin mining hardware is being turned into residential heating infrastructure — and why it still makes economic sense even at historic low hash prices.
Max breaks down the real numbers behind Bitcoin heating versus heating oil in Austria, introduces the 21energy Port for solar automation via Home Assistant, and explains how 21energy is building a platform that aggregates thousands of distributed heating devices for grid balancing — creating additional revenue streams on top of hashrate and heat.
