These Finnish homes are being heated by a surprising source: Bitcoin | Grist

This article explores how Finnish homes are being heated by the waste heat generated from bitcoin mining, highlighting the potential for repurposing this heat to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and lower greenhouse gas emissions. The initiative, led by companies like MARA Holdings and Hashlabs, has successfully reduced emissions in two districts and offers a cost-effective heating solution for others, though it is not without its critics who argue that the energy consumption of bitcoin mining itself is a larger problem.

Democrats Test Crypto Fundraising Reset With BlueVault Launch

Democrats have launched BlueVault, a new crypto fundraising platform, to re-engage crypto-aligned voters and donors following their defeat in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. The platform allows campaigns to accept donations in Bitcoin and stablecoins and aims to differentiate itself from Fairshake, a crypto-SuperPac that funded Republican campaigns. BlueVault's launch reflects growing concern among Democrats that crypto-native voters have drifted toward the GOP due to the party's lack of messaging to engage them. The platform's structure aims to ensure Democratic campaigns are not dependent on large corporate crypto donors or politically aligned intermediaries.

A community for people to discuss Bitcoin, share insights, news, memes, and debate the future of decentralized money.

About

This community is dedicated to discussion of Bitcoin as a decentralized, peer-to-peer monetary network. Topics include the protocol, security model, economics, history, and the broader implications of a scarce digital asset operating without central control.

This community exists for open discussion about Bitcoin—how it works, why it exists, where it succeeds, and where it may fall short. We welcome newcomers and experienced participants alike, provided discussion is grounded in good faith, evidence, and a willingness to learn. Bitcoin is complex; curiosity is expected.

Community Guidelines

No scams. No spams
No giveaways, impersonation, phishing links, pump-and-dump schemes, referral spam, or "guaranteed 10x returns” nonsense.
Bitcoin only
This is a Bitcoin-focused community. Altcoin promotion, NFT shilling, and unrelated crypto projects belong elsewhere unless directly relevant for comparison or critique.
Be civil
No harassment, hate speech, threats, or personal insults. Disagreement is productive; hostility is not.
Education over evangelism
Explaining Bitcoin is encouraged. Newcomers asking basic questions deserve patience, not ridicule. Everyone was a beginner once.
Be curious. Don’t trust. Verify!
Healthy skepticism is welcome. Blind faith is not required. Claims should be supported by evidence, clear reasoning, or firsthand experience. Strong opinions are fine—but no trolling.
Price talk has limits
Discussion of price, market structure, and macro context is allowed. Low-effort moon posts, panic spam, or constant “number go up/down” commentary may be removed.
