Eldorado: How Bitcoin Mining is Driving Energy Transition

Alexandre, the CEO of Eldorado, has embarked on a journey to redefine prosperity and sustainability through the lens of bitcoin mining. As we delve into his experiences, we uncover a narrative woven with innovation, resilience, and a deep understanding of the transformative power of bitcoin’s energy.

Alexandre has embarked on a journey to redefine prosperity and sustainability through the lens of bitcoin mining.

Initial Steps into Bitcoin

My entrepreneurial journey was born from the search for an answer to a key question: how do you create sustainable and resilient prosperity in a changing world? For more than ten years, parallel to my professional activities, I devoted my time to this quest.

One research project in particular marked a turning point during the COVID period. My goal was to imagine a new way of managing an autonomous and sustainable community. As I researched governance and local currencies, I came across what would transform my vision: bitcoin.

This discovery was a real revelation. I then understood that people like Satoshi Nakamoto were looking, as I was, for solutions to create a more just, thriving and self-sustaining society. After months of study and reflection, I finally decided to invest in bitcoin – unfortunately, at the top of the bull market. My portfolio fell in value, but it is this experience that has allowed me to learn and evolve.

Overcoming Challenges in the Space

  • What was the most challenging aspect of getting started in this space?

The most difficult aspect for me is to be able to break down the prevalent negative notions and pre-made ideas.

  • What’s one thing about being a builder that most people wouldn’t expect?
    When I started, I did not realize how hard it would be to break down the prevalent negative notions and pre-made ideas. This takes time to internalize, and you cannot expect anyone to see all of this at once.

Building on Bitcoin

  • What advice would you give to someone looking to start their own project in this space?

I will give the same advice to all entrepreneurs : Obtain a proof-of-concept first!  I spent so much time and energy working on a project before realizing that there is no real demand for it.  This is true in all sectors, but even more in our space.

  • What are the most exciting use cases for the Lightning Network that you’ve seen or worked on?

The Lightning Network is, for me, a huge improvement on the network.  It has a lot of benefits for us, the “occidental privileged”.  The most modest African farmer can now use the network to his extent.  It really fulfills the promise that bitcoin is for everyone. 

  • Can you walk us through a recent project you’ve completed on the Lightning Network?

Beside my book (“The Savy’s Crypto-Investor Guide”) and my teaching, Eldorado is the first project I have launched.

Personal Projects and Recommendations

  • What is Eldorado?

Eldorado wants to promote the role of bitcoin mining in energy transition.  Our goal is to support innovation energy and accelerate the global energy transition by using bitcoin mining.  

Why would you just buy bitcoin when you can invest in cutting-edge technology?  This long-term vision allows you to bring value to all members of the network by securing the blockchain, protects you from volatility and contributes to a better and cheaper energy for us all.

First, Eldorado helps people secure their financial future with bitcoin while participating in both securing the network and the accelerating transition to renewable energy.  For this, we offer responsible investment solutions that are accessible to all.  Also we are actively seeking out more innovative and profitable green energy projects.  

Later on, we want to offer the possibility of building more renewable energy sites by providing mobile mining infrastructure.  We want to be the first on the ground to make those installations profitable quickly and easily for the benefit of local companies and communities, all around the world.

  • What makes Eldorado stand out?

Our three values makes us stand out : 

Innovation : We use bitcoin to focus investments on innovative energy producing technologies.

Sustainability : We are promoting the role of bitcoin in energy transition. We help innovative energy solutions get financed by helping people obtain bitcoin.

Transparency : We do the work ahead to plan and popularize to make sure there is no surprise for our client. We give them tools to monitor all the information and details they need to manage their assets as easily as possible.

  • Who or what has been your biggest influence in the Bitcoin community?

I found so much inspiration in the bitcoin community that it may be unfair to name only one.  I have heard so many innovative and inspiring projects that it has literally made me believe again in a better future for all of us.  

However, when I heard about Emmanuel de Merode and Sébastien Gouspillou and their achievement in the Virunga park.  I realised that on top of all the solutions that bitcoin can provide, the proof-of-work and mining can solve so many other huge problems that none of us can still realise how bitcoin can change the world.

  • What advice would you give to someone looking to start their own project in this space?

I will give the same advice to all entrepreneurs : Obtain a proof-of-concept first!  I spent so much time and energy working on a project before realizing that there is no real demand for it.  This is true in all sectors, but even more in our space.

Vision for the Future

  • How has your perspective on bitcoin changed since you started building in this space?

My vision has evolved a lot since.  Like many I entered this ecosystem thinking I knew bitcoin and moved on. Then, I analyzed dozens of “blockchain” projects while writing my book.  However, I had to go to the evidence, no project had as many use cases as bitcoin.  

For me, bitcoin was, first of all, a way to fix our economy.  Inflation, debt and extreme centralization were obvious problems that bitcoin could solve.  

Furthermore, by diving deeper into these problems, I realized how true the adage “fix the money, fix the world” was.  That’s when I realized that bitcoin is the only thing worth standing for, and that I wanted to dedicate my life to it.

  • Finally, what’s next for Eldorado, and how can we support your journey moving forward?

Actually, you are helping a lot ! We are looking to have maximum visibility in order to promote bitcoin mining as a driver of energy transition.  

We are currently launching our first project in Paraguay. We will use the overproduction of Itaïpu’s dam to power our first installation.  We provide scalable turn-key solutions to get bitcoin by using one of the world’s most affordable green energy, which means minimal impact for maximum profitability.
