Purpose of the Bitcoin Mining Report

The report aims to address skepticism surrounding Bitcoin mining by providing credible, real-world data about its operations. Previously, many lawmakers were unconvinced by claims from the Bitcoin mining community regarding its energy use and environmental impact, often viewing these claims as unverified narratives. By gathering scientifically sound data, the goal is to establish a factual basis for understanding how Bitcoin miners operate and the benefits they claim regarding flexibility and renewable energy use. The effort to construct a reliable dataset sets this report apart from previous discussions, which were lacking in rigor and third-party validation.
