01

Bitcoin mining, explained

Follow one connected system: proof of work, computing power, a mining pool and the electricity that keeps it running.

02

Choose your first ASIC

A useful shortlist starts with power, heat and support. Use a site-first checklist before comparing prices.

03

Air, hydro or immersion?

Air, hydro and immersion move heat differently. Compare the whole installation, not the cooling label alone.

04

A world of operating conditions

Explore three source-backed research locations. Compare the questions to ask—not invented country rankings or electricity offers.

05

A short history of mining

Explore five documented milestones in the protocol, cooling and energy research. A curated timeline, not an exhaustive industry history.

WORLD VIEW / THREE RESEARCH LOCATIONS

Understand the place.

RESEARCH LOCATIONS · NOT FACILITY MARKERS
Electricity demand & grid context

United States

EIA’s February 2024 study discusses estimating mining electricity demand. Use it as historical energy research, not a current tariff or hashrate share.

Ask about site capacity, metering and curtailment terms.
