A Dutch entrepreneur is helping to fight climate change rather unexpectedly – by using cryptocurrency mining to grow tulips!

Known for centuries as one of their most iconic cash crops, these beloved flowers now have another purpose in Holland: powering cryptocurrency., known for the world's first financial bubble in 1637, and Bitcoin, with their economic bubble in 2017, the Dutch have created a win-win situation.
There are now six servers at their hothouse that are kept hidden in order to prevent burglars from targeting the 15,000-euro equipment. The potential of Bitcoin to revolutionize the Dutch agricultural industry is especially important given the current climate. With energy costs rising and some farms struggling, the ability to mine cryptocurrency could provide much-needed relief.
