They discuss Bitcoin mining centralization risks, why Nation-States will be forced to mine Bitcoin, home mining, mining pools and block templates, the present and future state of Bitcoin mining, and a whole lot more.</p> <p><strong>FOLLOW BOB:</strong></p> <p>X: <a href="https://x.com/boomer_btc">https://x.com/boomer_btc</a></p> <p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@OldManYells-btc">https://www.youtube.com/@OldManYells-btc</a></p> <p>*****</p> <p><strong>THE Bitcoin Podcast Partners:</strong></p> <p><strong>> Download Primal:</strong> <a href="https://primal.net/downloads"><strong>https://primal.net/downloads</strong></a></p> <p><strong>></strong> <a href="http://bitbox.swiss/walker"><strong>http://bitbox.swiss/walker</strong></a> <strong>-- use promo code WALKER for 5% off the Bitcoin-only Bitbox02 hardware wallet.</strong></p> <p><strong>> BUY BITCOIN WITH RIVER:</strong> <a href="http://partner.river.com/walker"><strong>http://partner.river.com/walker</strong></a></p> <p>*****</p> <p><em>If you enjoy THE Bitcoin Podcast you can help support the show by doing the following:</em></p> <p><strong>FOLLOW ME (Walker)</strong> on <a href="https://twitter.com/WalkerAmerica">Twitter Personal (@WalkerAmerica)</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/TitcoinPodcast">Twitter Podcast (@TitcoinPodcast)</a> | <a href="https://primal.net/walker">Nostr Personal (walker)</a> | <a href="https://primal.net/p/npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8">Nostr Podcast (Titcoin)</a></p> <p>Subscribe to THE Bitcoin Podcast (and leave a review) on <a href="https://www.fountain.fm/show/68gcLZFDRxOzgGeZmXq6">Fountain</a> | <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@walkerAmerica">YouTube</a> | <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/0f4Ke6gRTiLij0455nQjPH">Spotify</a> | <a href="https://bitcoinpodcast.net/podcast"><strong>EVERYWHERE ELSE</strong></a></p>
