RE: power hungry stuff and Tesla - As I understood it Elon's long game was always the underlying infrastructure and tech, the cars were just a vehicle (pun intended) to get society to where we needed it.

Mining bitcoin is really only viable these days if you've got really cheap electricity or aren't paying for your electricity - for example I know of a couple people who work in data centers that have X amount of rackspace dedicated to employee projects for free as a perk, so they threw some bitcoin rigs in there for themselves.

If you have Tesla roof + powerwall or solar panels though, to the point where you're selling electricity back to the network, bitcoin could indeed be far more viable again at home.
