Energy Symbiosis: Powering Compute for AI & Bitcoin Simultaneously | Bitcoin 2026
Can Bitcoin mining and AI HPC actually coexist on the same sites? At the Bitcoin 2026 Conference, BlocksBridge's Jesse moderates a sharp operator-level conversation with Simple Mining's Billy Boone, liquid-cooling pioneer Rick Margerison (LiquidRick), and CPower's David Chernis. They break down the ~10x build-cost gap between AI and mining, ERCOT Senate Bill 6's flexibility mandate, why Bitcoin miners pioneered liquid cooling, and how vertical integration and demand response decide who wins the next decade of digital infrastructure.Trade Bitcoin's next move on Duelbits Predict — get 100% cashback on your first bet, up to $100.
