Will AI eat Bitcoin mining's energy lunch?
Day 1 · 15:50–16:30 · Main stage · Panel
Nacho Pauls, Robert Schulman, Daniel Batten, General Kenobi

What miners still have that AI does not: the ability to switch off in seconds, to sit on stranded and flared energy, and to sell the heat afterwards. Where that advantage holds, where it has already gone, and what the Nordic grid looks like in five years.
