🌡️ And what if your radiator gave you Bitcoin... while heating you up.

Some households, particularly in the United States, have been attracted by this concept, which is beginning to gain traction in France.

They use devices that combine heating and Bitcoin mining.

The idea is simple: the heat produced by the mining process is used to heat the home, which helps make heating less expensive while "generating" cryptos.

Other radiators use the surplus electricity from individuals. Since EDF reduced its electricity buyback price, it "has become more interesting to mine in France than to sell back its electricity."

But the reality is that mining consumes a lot of energy, much more than a traditional radiator.

The installation must operate continuously to hope for minimal profitability, thus requiring high electricity consumption.
