Summary
We sit down with Lod, a Bitcoin startup focused on monetizing energy loads, from Bitcoin to AI and everything in between.
Welcome back to The Mining Pod! On today’s show we’re joined by Lod’s CEO Medi Naseri to discuss monetizing energy sources using software! While yes most people aren't thinking about energy past flipping on their laptops or charging their smart phones, energy systems are frankly pretty complex and deserve a little more love. That’s why we brought on one of the more interesting startups in the space, Lod, to discuss their business model, who they help and why energy hungry miners and AI compute should think about using a system like Lod!
