Bitcoin mining could make the difference in moving from a Type 0 civilization to a Type 1 on the Kardashev scale! How? By incentivizing the use of stranded energy and neglected technologies. The nature of mining requires vast amounts of energy but can be positioned anywhere, creating demand for otherwise wasted resources to potentially power entire communities. And with Bitcoin's decentralized global ledger, it opens up opportunities for people in remote and underdeveloped regions to participate in an emerging industry that would have never been available before. #bitcoinmining #Kardashevscale
