He then shares his journey into Bitcoin and the thinking that led him to focus on mining as a practical application.We explore his work with Renewablox, looking at how Bitcoin mining can be used to address energy wastage, grid constraints and inefficiencies in energy markets. Jason explains how mining can act as a flexible load, the challenges of navigating energy contracts, and how these systems are evolving.The conversation also covers the economics of mining, including costs, revenue models, treasury strategies and payback periods, as well as innovative approaches such as using mining for heat generation in commercial settings. Throughout, Jason shares his perspective on how Bitcoin mining could play a growing role in energy optimisation and future infrastructure. I could have spoken to him for hours - a genuinely fascinating conversation, I hope you enjoy it too!

In this episode, I chat with Rebel Money to explore the intersection of art, money and Bitcoin.

We begin with his early memories of money and how his teenage years combined entrepreneurship with creative pursuits. He reflects on art as something that provided direction and meaning, particularly in contrast to what he describes as the “treadmill” of modern life.

The conversation expands into the cultural impact of social media, the importance of human interaction, and how emerging technologies like AI may shape the future of creativity. From there, we move into Bitcoin but not just as a financial tool, but as a cultural and philosophical shift.

Rebel Money shares his perspective on Bitcoin as a medium of exchange, the idea of value-for-value from an artist’s standpoint, and the challenges of operating within a fiat system while trying to live and create differently.

We also explore Bitcoin as an act of rebellion, the importance of time and trust, and how artists can begin integrating Bitcoin into their work and livelihoods.

Nick will be at Pizza Day!
