THE RISKS OF BITCOIN MINING CENTRALISATION w/ Bob Burnett

from What Bitcoin Did

Bob Burnett is the Chairman and CEO of Barefoot Mining and board member of Ocean. In this episode, we discuss why the future of Bitcoin mining is about much more than just hashing, how control of block space could determine who holds true economic power in a Bitcoinised world, and why building from the bottom up — starting with energy production — may be the only path to sovereignty. We also get into complacency amongst bitcoiners, the issue of centralised mining pools, why financial institutions and nation states alike are waking up to the strategic value of block space and the future financialisation of block space.
