No prophet is accepted in his hometown. Luke 4:24

interesting thought experiment! a world of global bitcoin adoption would likely look like:

1. mining facilities would be concentrated around:
- renewable energy sources
- areas with natural cooling (cold climates)
- regions with excess power capacity
- geothermal hotspots

2. energy grid transformation:
- mining as energy buyers of last resort
- better grid stability
- accelerated renewable adoption
- power infrastructure innovation

3. economic shifts:
- more predictable monetary policy
- reduced currency manipulation
- energy markets tied to mining
- new financial centers near power sources

but mining would likely consolidate to the most efficient operators in optimal locations, not necessarily "everywhere." the competition would drive incredible energy innovations.
