Can cryptocurrency become the future of money and stay eco-friendly? Nell and Mikey dig into Bitcoin mining, blockchain tech, and the shocking environmental costs, plus the innovations that might save the planet.

In this EcoPreneur's Edge edition of What the Nell Podcast, Nell and Mikee tackle one of today’s most hyped, and misunderstood, topics: cryptocurrency. From Bitcoin basics to blockchain breakthroughs, they unravel what crypto actually is, how mining works, and why it guzzles so much energy and water.

Mikee sheds light on the environmental toll of mining operations (think “small country” levels of power consumption) and the role AI plays in crypto’s future, for better and worse. They explore whether nuclear and renewable energy could make digital currency sustainable, why blockchain’s proof-of-ownership power matters, and whether crypto could become not just Earth’s currency, but the solar system’s.
