LENR has so far not been proven to work, in scientifically controlled environments replicated in more than one laboratory.  At the moment we're still at the 'this kind of works, sometimes, but I can't get my colleagues to replicate the experiments and get the same findings'.  We've been here for 25 years now.

We've known how to create gold from mercury for decades.  It requires a particular isotope of mercury, ends up producing radioactive gold, and is much more expensive than just digging gold out of the ground.  Maybe LENR will change that, maybe not.  

LENR promises (for 25 years now) to change the world through cheap, unlimited energy production.  Whether or not it makes gold as well is almost irrelevant.  Certainly it has no impact on bitcoin whatsoever.
See Elforsk study and report in 2013. TLDR: they sent Sweden's top scientists to a lab controlled by the scientists to run the experiment.
