I'm going to burst some bubbles

This looks more like they're using Bitcoin as PR than anything else. First, they sell 21 Lalibela tulip bulps for €41. I checked another website, and for the same price I can buy 6 times more bulbs (including shipping). So that's a massive profit margin.

Allow me to share some history: Dutch greenhouses are quite famous, also international, and most of them are concentrated in Westland. The reason they grow fruit, vegetables and flowers in greenhouses is of course because it's very profitable. It's a massive industry, and they got quite wealthy out of it. The main reason: very cheap natural gas! They used to burn the gas just for CO₂ and heat, while getting electricity for grow lights from the grid.
Later, more and more of them switched to Combined Heat and Power (CHP), producing their own electricity: they burn the gas in gas turbines that power generators, create electricity, sell part of it back to the grid, and still get the same amount of CO₂ (and a slightly lower amount of heat). Apart from being less polluting, the main reason was of course increased profitability. They basically became power companies.
Nowadays, there's a CO₂ pipeline from the Botlek industrial area, "feeding" plants in Westland greenhouses. They turn waste CO₂ into food, which is a further efficiency improvement.

Now back to BitcoinBloem:
Even better: it can be done in warm regions, using natural solar light and heat instead of consuming fossil energy.

We so very much need such initiatives to happen in crypto industry. Environmentalists and politicians with vested interest, are already lobbying at a very high level 5o stop POW cryptos citing various reasons.

This kind of initiatives can actually bring the naysayers ill effort to a grinding halt. Looking forward to see more videos of this farm. Looks very interesting!

Somebody should print this thread as a PDF and email it to all the news websites that are busy spreading FUD about bitcoin mining right now to show them that there are an unlimited number of use cases for Bitcoin mining waste products (ie. Heat).

It's a great initiative and might other cold places country that has mining facilities will do the same.
The Netherlands is a cold place and it's perfect for crypto mining because you don't need cooling ventilation there's no waste energy there because the heat of mining equipment can be used in flower gardens which is people love flowers which makes them happy.  It seems this is very useful because from this month until January next year will start the coldest month, AFAIK, January is the coldest month which is approximately 35°F and a high of 40°F.

It's true there's a greenBitcoin.

Wow, superb. Feeling positive when reading this post. First time I learned about such miming projects. To be honest, if this kind of mining farms increases then the Bitcoin heater's mouth will be shut down. Because the major blame regarding energy consumption for Bitcoin mining. But they are using renewable energy to mine Bitcoin and flower gardens helping nature & climates. This is the best example even which would adapt Bitcoin worldwide. If I had the ability to visit their farms then I would love to do so. Hope more crypto entrepreneurs would be interested in mine Bitcoin this way.

Nice initiative, Netherlands being a cold country there is no need for cooling systems for the mining machines. This is a way to cut the cost of electricity. Further the heat released out of mining into the process of growing flowers  is good. This techniques were already implemented, here everything is done with perfection. Accepting donations for elderly, ill kids in the form of bitcoin is another thing appreciable. This means they care for the environment as well as for the society.

It is nice to note that the heat generated from Pow mining can be channelled into growing flowers bitcoinbloem another way of recycling energy. It must have been inflation that gave rise to this useful discovery as the rise in gas price  keeps soaring.

Another experimentation is the use of the same heat from bitcoin mining to generate artificial heating reptile farming specifically snakes has they need heat to survive.  Basically it is an essential care procedure for snake pets as they tend to pass away if they get too cold because the stop eating in the process.

The future of the project is bright because Bitcoinbloem has managed to test and prove that Bitcoin mining does not have to be wasteful for energy consumption and that different industries can join together and complement each other. It will continue to receive international advertisement and attention as time moves on. The project may also be scaled up to produce various other products, such as vegetables. It could also be used to grow other plants that require special care and attention, such as medicinal herbs. The project will continue to grow and expand, as more people become aware of the benefits of using the technology. This means that Bitcoinbloem is not just a one-time project, but something that can become a long-term contribution to the crypto community and society in general. I wish them all the luck and success they deserve.

This is in Netherlands so I guess this is why they use it for flowers like tulips
I guess that instead of flowers they could also grow food like fruits and vegetables, and this could be done in especially in cold regions.
Mini greenhouse heated by bitcoin miner could easily feed a family, all they would need is reliable power source and they would get double benefit.

Heating with miners is the idea almost as old as mining itself. People tried to heat homes, greenhouses warehouses and workshops and so on.
In 2020 there was an article about a mining operation in Sweden that partnered with some vegetable growers to heat their operation.

It's great that they're popularizing bitcoin among small business owners because they could be growing flowers with mining heat and not be this vocal about it but they're trying to make people familiar with mining.

One mistake that individuals and governments always make is they run away from challenges. Bitcoinbloem has decided to be an example of what creative thinking can produce. They have converted people's fears into uncommon opportunities. This project also helps to purify the environment because these plants would produce oxygen which is essential to life. This firm is also helping to put smiles on the face of sick children and the elderly by raising funds to finance the kind gestures of sending some of these flowers to them. This firm has proved beyond doubt that Bitcoin can touch people's life not only financially but socially and emotionally.
Most governments that are anti-Bitcoin are closed-minded, therefore they are unable to see the beauty and opportunity in Bitcoin.

Good to see this great Initiative with creativity in the use of bitcoin energy that would have been rendered ineffective or underutilized, this is a way forward in proving how environmental friendly bitcoin mining energy could serve on many purpose, the screenhouse and modern vertical agricultural farming is one of the applications to these energies thereby bringing in new ideas to develop the environment in beautification through environmentally friendly bitcoin mining activities, bitcoin mining and energy use is going green already.
