Depends a LOT upon regulation by EU and states, if this can take off soon. Would be hardly surprising if EU commission/parliament were to shoot Bitcoin mining as demand response mechanism in the foot by ruling the same old: "Bitcoin is nonproductive waste of energy and harmful to the environment, therefore it's not a legit technology.". IMO the grid stability pain will have to get MUCH worse than it is now for politicians to reconsider their opinion.

The EU is probably going to push _AI_ for demand response / grid stabilisation instead of Bitcoin ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ See here:
