If you are into heating with bitcoin asics you can follow my journey as well. I am publishing my steps along the way in real time (more or less), as a total beginner with no clue to eventually, hopefully, heating the home & pool we are about to start building and beyond. https://twitter.com/BitDaya

I wonder if this phenomenon can explain the increase in BTC hashrate lately despite prices hitting multiple year lows. I mean it can be part of the explanation perhaps.
It turns out 90% of the worlds population live in northern hemisphere which is currently heading into winter and heating with mining might be a compelling option for lots of people now- But who knows. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for reading. I wonder how much is really about that. For sure it will be more and more relevant as the knowledge and tools become more easily available, and as the electricity prices go up and up.
But I believe a big part of it is also because new ASICs are much more efficient so the miners that wants to stay competitive switch to much higher hashrate with the same amount if electricity, and selling tons of older miners for cheap so people with innovations/cheap electricity can run the old asics as well.
The new asics are pretty much around break even profitability around BTC=21K$ in many countries. I know I mine for a small loss but I dont mind because there are benefits for it and if it goes to 23k it seems like profit all of a sudden, in fiat terms.

Its just something I like to do. Usually I carve tibetan mantras, but I did one "bitcoin mantra" - 21/infinity.
