• Due to his vast experience in the energy sector in Texas and understanding the power grid struggles with fluctuating energy prices and sporadic service, mining for cryptocurrencies, like, Bitcoin, is the computationally intensive process by which new tokens are created and transactions of existing digital coins are verified, can fix this problem by adding another electricity factor into the mix—a buyer who will take as much power as they’re give, whatever the time of day, and are just willing to power down within seconds’ notice, reduce the strain on the grid and then get compensated for that shift, shape and shedding of load.  This, at its core, is called Energy Arbitrage through mining Bitcoin.  He now uses this knowledge and applied this to a crypto mining farm in Sugar Land Texas
