Countries will be FORCED to mine #Bitcoin

Show Notes

"If you believe, like I do, that Bitcoin in the course of the next century--and probably much, much sooner--becomes the base layer of all money, then access to that base layer becomes existential to your viability as a nation." FULL EPISODE: https://youtu.be/Ce_8EAPzgn0 On this CLIP of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Bob Burnett, Founder/CEO at Barefoot Mining. They discuss Bitcoin mining centralization risks, why Nation-States will be forced to mine Bitcoin, home mining, mining pools and block templates, strategic bitcoin reserves, the present and future state of Bitcoin mining, and a whole lot more. ***** THE Bitcoin Podcast Partners: Download Primal: https://primal.net/downloads GET YOUR BITCOIN OFF EXCHANGES AND KEEP IT SAFE WITH BITBOX: Go to http://bitbox.swiss/walker and use promo code WALKER for 5% off the Bitbox02 Bitcoin-only hardware wallet.
