Marty Bent on Great American Mining [Episode 57] May 06, 2020

Show notes

Marty Bent joins me to discuss Great American Mining, a company making use of waste gas from oil fields to power bitcoin mining here in the USA. We talk about mining costs and variables, the importance of decentralizing mining and the power of incentivizing one of the most politically powerful industries to fight for Bitcoin.

Scott Sibley, creator of SHAmory Bitcoin board game [Episode 56] Apr 30, 2020

Show notes

This week I'm joined by Scott Sibley to talk about his forthcoming board game SHAmory, that helps teach concepts of Bitcoin mining in a way that is fun and easy to understand. Scott also talks about how his background in Ed Tech helped him create something that doesn't over-complicate the message so anyone can play, even if they know nothing about Bitcoin. Scott was even nice enough to throw in a discount code for Bottomshelfers good through the end of 2020! Just put in bottomshelf10 at checkout!

Show notes

Guy Swann of The Cryptoconomy and I discuss how government meddling causes the economic fragility we saw in 2008 and we're seeing again now, as well as how the money printing they use to try and fix it only makes it worse for the next crash.
