Real-Time Markets and the Future of Energy Infrastructure - Type I Summit

Show Notes

What if we stopped patching the old grid and built a new one from scratch? This conversation from PBJ explores how solar, storage, and data centers can power an energy system outside legacy infrastructure, and how Bitcoin enables real-time markets, supra-state settlement, and the metering of electrons for sats. From Buckminster Fuller’s vision of making the old obsolete to the rise of modular, Bitcoin-powered grids, PBJ dives into the future of energy, money, and coordination. ----- The Type I Summit convenes ~50 founders, investors, and operators to design a new path: off-grid solar and storage at terawatt scale, real-time power markets, and more. 📍 San Francisco, CA 📅 November 2025 Apply now: https://tally.so/r/wglrVM Learn more: https://type1summit.org/ Read more: https://www.hivemind.vc/grid ------ Timestamps: 0:00 Defecting from the old grid (Solar, Storage, and Data Centers) 3:40 Bootstrapping the Network State vision: AI data centers or Bitcoin miners? 5:08 Electrons for Bitcoin: Real-time markets & supra-state settlement 🎧 From the PBJ podcast recorded at 📍Presidio Bitcoin 🔗 Full episode: https://youtu.be/hjIJ9PHYa-w 🐦 Follow us: https://x.com/PresidioBitcoin 🌐 Learn more: https://presidiobitcoin.org Subscribe Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/presidio-bitcoin-jam/id1804198027 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0N8ZFqAkTwxNmjDXdIo7cT Fountain: https://fountain.fm/show/j2kz7CShWNQaF25Nf6uB
