🎙️ NEW EPISODE: The Wild Truth About Bitcoin Mining

My guest today on nostr:nprofile1qqsdcz7puq6jv9ahh58h26zxl5gwl7xks548ck48uyfmsx0kzlfl3rcfrx0pj is nostr:nprofile1qqsylql0dy3gk0sfkz4uz80dne4c2vvupdl77xsyfw8wn9cw8pzps9cr2y7ff, veteran technologist with 40 years of experience, former Gateway CTO, and now CEO of Barefoot Mining. From eight US patents to pioneering “wild mining,” Bob shows how small, off-grid Bitcoin operations can be profitable, sovereign, and decentralizing.

We discussed:

- Bob’s journey from Gateway CTO to sovereign miner

- How “wild mining” uses stranded energy sources

- Lessons from the PC revolution for Bitcoin adoption

- Risks of mining centralization & censorship resistance

- The coming energy race with AI and High Performance Computing

- Why nation-states should build mining infrastructure before buying bitcoin

"We cut the cord to the grid", says Bob Burnett nostr:nprofile1qyx8wumn8ghj7cnjvghxjmcpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqgz0s0hkjg5t8cymp27prhkeu6u9xxwqkll0rgzyhrhfju8rs3qczuekl4t9.

He explains how innovative approaches to energy production, especially smaller, cost-effective energy sites - are the game changer in Bitcoin mining. Bob's approach is to become the energy producer, utilizing hydroelectric facilities and anaerobic digestion, to become more sovereign & decentralized.

I'm part way through writing an article on how small farms and homesteads could use biowaste from the farm to generate power.

Sell into the grid when the price is high during the day.

Charge battery banks and mine bitcoin at night.

Anerobic digestion is at the core of the article.

Ha, I think i met this guy in a bar in Miami at Bitcoin 2021 after he just ordered something like $4 million in miners from China and he was questioning his own wisdom in doing so. That you Bob?
