Golden Finance reported that U.S. Republican Senator Ted Cruz said on social media that Texas is a center of employment, innovation and freedom, making it a natural oasis for Bitcoin mining. These operations increase the resiliency of our grid because they can shut down during severe weather and release power to heat or cool homes. Cruz believes that Bitcoin is more attractive because of its uncontrollable nature and its security network. Because the Bitcoin network relies on a proof-of-work consensus mechanism, it involves a decentralized network of computers around the world that work together to solve cryptographic puzzles to verify transactions. Likewise, in exchange for the computing power a node contributes to the Bitcoin network, it is rewarded with newly released Bitcoins. Additionally, validators who confirm transactions in the network receive BTC as rewards. Cruz said that the Bitcoin network is open source code. Anyone from anywhere in the world can participate and make money. This method serves as a fair mechanism for the network to use the computing power of the world’s computers to issue new Bitcoins. It is believed that Bitcoin could prove to be a valuable asset for the energy industry.

Golden Finance reported that U.S. Republican Senator Ted Cruz said in an interview with Forbes: "I am optimistic about Bitcoin. This innovation has benefited the Texas economy and power grid."
