How Centralized is Bitcoin Mining? W/ Braiins

The Juan Galt Show

#Tech #Entrepreneur #Business #Deep dive conversations with the most interesting Bitcoin nerds

51:57

On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today.

From one of the oldest mining pools in the game, Kristian held ground on the many concerns and general FUD about Bitcoin mining centralization. Sure, you could argue that as a mining pool they have an incentive to not worry too much, but I really threw pretty much every piece of FUD I hear at Kristian and other miners who joined this show and well, I’ll let you judge for your self how they handled it.Stay tuned for a follow up show on mining, a topic that believe it or not is still jammed packed with innovation. Also, check us out on Spotify! and if you like, give us a review, it will help a ton, or check us out on Fountain app and get paid sats to listen, that works too. :)

Most interesting to me anyway. How about you? There’s a lot of going on in the world, but no other person alive seems to be able to handle so many impossible jobs at the same time as Elon Musk. Despite controversies and political positions he has taken recently. You have to admit, what ever his secret is to execution, it is one worth figuring out.Here’s a solo pod attempt by me to answer this question. Let me know what you think and if you like these, suggest some other topics or questions I should take on!All the best. Juan Galt. This is a public episode.

Taproot Assets & USD On Lightning W/ Joltz_BTC 1:01:14

1:01:14

For the forseable future anyway, the cryptographic transformation of the dollar is not just inevitable but economically very attractive to the global south. Americans don’t get it, the Dollar is their water but the rest of the world is drowning in much worse fiat.Meanwhile Bitcoin is still in it’s distribution stage barely cracking 1% global adoption. One day Bitcoin can - I really believe - become a daily use currency. I live in that future often. But in the meanwhile, an intermediary technology will take place. On this conversation, the Joltz team gives us the deep download from the cutting edge.Enjoy! Juan Galt. This is a public episode.

2:32:02

Hello everybody! Sorry for the lol in podcasts there this month. I've been traveling and fell down an AI rabbit hole that I'm temporarily emerging from right now. This conversation with the OCEAN guys was I thought very productive and informative. I asked some of the finer questions related to their approach to the Ordinals boom and the game theory around mining and I think got some new answers worth discussing. Let me know what you think! Greatful to the OCEAN guys for being good sports. Great show. Juan Galt This is a public episode.
