BATHHOUSE, a spa located in Brooklyn, has come under fire after disclosing its use of energy from Bitcoin mining to heat its pools. The founders of the spa believed in the potential benefits of this technology, but their announcement sparked disapproval:
“In the year of our lord 2023… thinking bitcoin mining gives you cache? praying this is a poorly-conceived joke”
“This is the most unhinged content I’ve seen in some time”
One of the key reasons for the public’s dissatisfaction with the spa’s use of Bitcoin mining energy is its potential environmental impact.
According to BATHHOUSE, they implemented this unique heating process in March 2022, aiming to find efficient engineering solutions and conserve energy. They further expressed their willingness to share their learnings with others, foreseeing its potential implementation in various building solutions for heat and domestic hot water.
