Parker Lewis of Unchained Capital, an advocate for bitcoin in Texas, helped organize the meetup, drawing over 200 attendees. The meetup buzzed with discussions on using excess natural gas for mining, a practice championed by companies like UpstreamData. UpstreamData's portable mining solutions convert wasted methane into profit, making it economically viable for oil and gas firms. Attendees also discussed political activism to protect bitcoin interests, recognizing the need for legislative support. This growing alliance between bitcoin miners and the oil and gas industry showcases the potential for mutually beneficial partnerships and environmental impact reduction.
