Bitcoin Mining Patent Politics w/ Marshall Long

Bitcoin Mining Patent Politics w/ Marshall Long

On today's episode I'm joined by Marshall Long, aka @OGBTC on Twitter.  And Marshall is for sure an OG of Bitcoin.  Very few people in the game have been mining as long as Marshall has, so it was awesome to get to chat with him and get his perspective on the mining industry today. Marshall shares his take on the most recent stories including the ongoing Bitmain bottlenecks and hardware challenges, the lawsuit between Lancium and Layer1, and how the concept of defensive patents affects the mining industry as a whole.

Mining Bitcoin In Venezuela w/ Juan Pinto and Theo Toukoumidis

Mining Bitcoin In Venezuela w/ Juan Pinto and Theo Toukoumidis

On today's episode I am joined by Juan Pinto and Theo Toukoumidis from Doctor Miner and Hash Market. It was great to get their take on Bitcoin mining in Venezuela.  Hearing their story, theirs some wild stuff going that's gone on in Venezuela. They talk about how they had to make a run for it when they found out that Bitcoin miners in Venezuela were being extorted or their equipment was being stolen. They both basically high-tailed it and went to Europe for a year.  And now they're back, it's legal to mine Bitcoin in Venezuela and crypto is looked upon much more favorably than it was just a few years ago.

Bitcoin Mining On Natural Gas w/ Sergii Gerasymovych

Bitcoin Mining On Natural Gas w/ Sergii Gerasymovych

On today's episode I am joined by Sergii Gerasymovych of EZ Blockchain.   Sergii is a scrappy entrepreneur, and it was awesome to get to talk to him.  EZ Blockchain started out as an importer and exporter of hardware for mining and that grew into a hosting business. Now EZ Blockchain ships their containers all over the world for both proprietary mining (by the company itself) and for other miners out there. And of course they have a heavy focus on the oil and natural gas industry. So this was a great conversation, I enjoyed it  a lot. Sergii is a authentic guy and you can hear it in the way he speaks.  I look forward to having him on the show again in the near future.  If you enjoyed this episode please take a moment to like and share this episode with a friend.

Owning The Entire Bitcoin Mining Stack w/ Alex Liegl

Today I have the pleasure of chatting with Alex Liegl, CEO of Layer1 Technologies. Alex and his company have made numerous headlines recently with the introduction of their turnkey, fully integrated Bitcoin mining data centers, or "Bitcoin batteries".   Alex explains how Layer1 is revolutionizing Bitcoin mining in North America by owning the entire Bitcoin mining stack, from chip to watt.
