This is all techno-babble fantasy of a post-apocalyptic novel.
In the real world a post-apocalyptic world won't have enough food to sustain basic labour, all global supply chains will cease to exist and skirmishes for arable land and drinkable water will take over. Anything remotely needing cooperation on a greater scale than a local community will be absolutely broken.
Plenty of old hardware that will cease to function in 5-10 years won't help a post-apocalyptic society for long. Constant brown outs and blackouts due to a shortage of labour, maintenance capacity (parts and labour) will absolutely wreck any chance of mining using electricity. The scarce electricity, be it solar or some lingering power plant that can continue to function with lowered maintenance will be needed to sustain life, not trade.
Solar panels need a quite complex supply chain, photovoltaic cells are a high-technology product.
Bitcoin won't exist in a post-apocalyptic scenario. This is a teenager fantasy of how humans work, and a technocratic one at that...
