Through Dirty Coin, Alana Mediavilla-Diaz seeks to address the widespread misconceptions associated with Bitcoin and its reputation as a 'dirty coin' due to its energy consumption and alleged role in facilitating illegal activities. Alana, who spent over a year filming around the world and visiting Bitcoin mining locations, believes that the Bitcoin mining industry could play a substantial role in balancing the energy grid. "Bitcoin miners, they can just turn off instantly, give the power back to the grid, and then they can turn on instantly as well. it's a great way to balance the grid," Alana said in an interview with Rob Nelson, the anchor of the Roundtable. She calls this process, popularly known as a "crumple zone" in Texas, a win-win situation, offering more availability of energy and aiding in optimal grid management. The documentary debuted on the global stage in Warsaw during the Bitcoin Film Festival. The premiere was a huge success, and the film was honored with the Best Movie award!
