What does X have to do with Bitcoin? Glad you asked!! In this episode we discuss how building robust, open source protocols can help with government overreach. Centralized systems like X and Telegram are also points of failure subject to pressure from governmental institutions. But what can we do? Let's discuss.

The price of Bitcoin is crashing. The Japanese Stock Market has had worse two days since the 1980's. An even more widespread war seems to be coming to the Middle East. And the US stock market is diving as well over last week's every underwhelming jobs data. Time to buy the dip!

As the political postering for Bitcoin votes reaches a fever pitch in the United States it's important to look a little deeper. Just because a politician is pandering and even making campaign promises (that may or may not be true) doesn't mean fundamental issues don't still exits. The United States and virtually every other country in the world can't just be "fixed" by Bitcoin. Let's discuss!

This week I had a great interview with Rob Warren. He has been mining bitcoin for a number of years. With a wide range of experience from home mining to working with Riot (one of the largest public miners in the United States) he has a great deal of knowledge about the mining business.
He has recently written the Bitcoin Miner's Almanac (releasing in mid-June). We cover some politics in regards to recent government actions, how Bitcoin mining can vary wildly in scope and purpose as well as a brief trip into philosophy.
