Summary
In this episode I sit down with Rev.HODL, a homesteader, Bitcoin miner, and builder of real circular economies in Southwest Michigan.He is not just stacking sats.He is heating his home with Bitcoin miners.Drying food with Bitcoin miners.Preheating maple syrup sap using immersion mining in canola oil.Growing cannabis and raising meat rabbits inside a permaculture loop.Selling maple syrup, eggs, beef, coffee, and more at local Bitcoin meetups.And he is also building real world Bitcoin hospitality.Rev built a tiny house and a yurt on his property and rents them out for people who want to unplug, explore Michigan, and experience local Bitcoin culture. He even offers Bitcoiners half price stays on meetup nights so people can come in, join the meetup, and get a tour of the homestead and all his Bitcoin mining setups.This is what happens when Bitcoin meets homesteading.When circular ecologies mirror circular economies.When sats move peer to peer in real life.We talk aboutHow Bitcoin mining heat increases maple syrup efficiencyUsing canola oil for immersion mining in a pinchTurning fiat into beef into BitcoinWhy meetups are where hyperbitcoinization actually beginsHow to earn KYC free sats locallyHomesteading, permaculture, and building circular systemsThe yurt and tiny house rentals and why he discounts them for BitcoinersFollow Rev on Nostrhttps://damus.io/npub1f5pre6wl6ad87vr4hr5wppqq30sh58m4p33mthnjreh03qadcajs7gwt3zListen to his podcast Local Bitcoinershttps://fountain.fm/show/Q48WBr6nT3mrbwMZ8ydYWant to find local Bitcoin meetups near you and build real world connections?Join Club Orange and get 21 percent off a lifetime membership using my linkhttps://signup.cluborange.org/co/bitcoinnovaFind your people.Build locally.Stack friends who stack sats.#Bitcoin#HeatReuse#Bitco…
