Hosted mining is big now if you want the most hashrate for your dollar. If you want a home miner, the Canaan Avalon Q is a great entry point. 90 terahash, looks just like a desktop, and it runs on 120 so no modifications necessary. I co-host a weekly space on X about mining. I can reach out to some of the people I've met there to talk to you and maybe get on the podcast. Just say the word and I'll reach out. I sent…

What in your opinion would be a valuable next technological step for a “sat-stacking pleb newbie ” …invest in a solo miner or node up (or something else entirely)? What’s the next baby step that benefits a newb AND the network? Regarding hardware wallets, I gifted tangem wallets for Christmas.

People often confuse strategy and tactics. In chess, strategy is over the course of the game, while tactics are temporal, clever moments. Like in chess, like in poker, like in life - if you only ever play with a static technique, you are mistaking tactics for strategy. A supposed reliance on an issuance schedule admist an ever-changing macro economic environment? I think the 4 year cycle was a blip. A clever techniq…

Keep the value coming Chris. I would love to see podcasting 2.0 replace the paid advertising model. There’s nothing worse than listening to “Bitcoin” podcasters shill treasury companies, custodial services and even telling you not to bother with holding your own keys. (Insert vomit emoji here). Keep it up and May the force be with you.

Hi Chris, I finally started mining 3 weeks ago, I jumped on the new miner: NerdOctaxe rev3.1 12TH/s from Bitronics when they released their first batch. Now they are selling the 3rd batch. I bought 2 miners but didn't want to do solo mining, I prefer to experiment with Braiins and later Ocean.

Been listening a long time, definitely one of the best Bitcoin podcasts out there! Tried boosting several times, but fountain posted error messages every time. To answer this weeks question about hardware wallets, I recommend passport by foundation. It’s open source, airgapped, has optional view only app for iPhone or android, has a customer replaceable battery should you ever need it, extremely easy to use, and own…

Grab a Bitaxe Chris. Cool little art peice for the desk.

Glad you’re back. 🙏

$25 wrench would make sense but I've definitely recently found a $4.95 pipe wrench at Harbor Freight that would definitely beat Bitcoin out of someone.

Ok, so you bitch about CNBC only talking stocks, 30 minutes later you take opposite view for Strategy. You are talking outta two mouths. It’s getting silly.

I recently switched from Ledger devices I bought before the customer information breach to Coldcard MK4- have also used and like Blockstream Jade

You have become a clown show. You do a show bitching about CNBC covering stocks? This is so old and stale. Plus u spend time saying u wish government overreach lasted longer to take other crypto down? U sound like a authoritarian pig. Bitcoin doesn’t need CNBC spotlight, Nor u cheering for authoritarians to shut down other crypto
