What Real People Think of Bitcoin Mining in Their Communities May 25, 2023

Show notes

There is no area of "bitcoin building" subject to more political scrutiny than mining. For years there have been battles around mining, exemplified by the New York State Moratorium on new mining driven in large part by reports from the Greenidge plant in the Finger Lakes region. In a new piece of reporting from CoinDesk, however, it appears that many of the claims made about the plant and its impact were simply false. What's more, locals in the area have had their voices almost entirely ignored.

Bitcoin: The First Post-Partisan Asset? A Conversation with "Progressive's Case for Bitcoin" Author Jason Maier May 10, 2023

Show notes

This week, President Biden ratcheted up the partisanship around Bitcoin when he tweeted that Republicans were trying to protect tax loopholes for wealthy crypto investors. Congressman Brad Sherman has been all over TV saying that the industry is just for tax evaders and criminals. Elizabeth Warren is making opposition to crypto a central pillar of her campaign. Yet as much as the partisan bickering tries to capture Bitcoin, some progressive voices are pushing back. Jason Maier is the author of "A Progressive's Case for Bitcoin" and he's on a mission to help people understand how Bitcoin aligns with and can help achieve core goals of the left as well - including fairness, equality of opportunity and more.

A Primer on BRC-20: Innovation or an Attack on Bitcoin? May 07, 2023

Show notes

Bitcoin has recently set records for transactions. Fees are dramatically higher than they were a few months ago. Ordinals have ballooned to more than a million inscriptions per week. BRC-20 is a primitive token standard that uses ordinals to create a form of Bitcoin-native token. Just a couple months old, the market cap of BRC-20 tokens is over $400m and a great debate rages: is this Bitcoin builder innovation - or a new attack vector on the network?
