Episode Synopsis

We got your proof-of-work right here. Join our friends Drew Armstrong and Will Foxley (co-founder of Blockspace Media) to learn what it takes to survive in the zero-sum game of Bitcoin mining and secure the next precious block in the chain. They discuss:How mining numbers get gamed by curtailment and Texas grid strategyWhy Tether is now one of the largest Bitcoin miners (and how a joint venture with Swan blew up in UK court)Whether U.S. regulators will crack down on Bitmain and Congo’s mining footprint over national security fearsHow AISC manufacturers capture more value than minersThe growing friction between Bitcoin Core devs and mempool policy (yes, we're talking about the ordinal censorship debate)Whether Marathon’s Slipstream model is smart opportunism... or a subtle form of transaction censorship▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬PubKey meetups are FREE and PUBLIC.
