THE MINING POD: Blockstream’s ASIC Mining Note With Adam Back
Manage episode 439143986 series 2401578
You want to invest in Bitcoin mining, but you don’t know how? OG Bitcoin company Blockstream has been cooking up something for those intrigued with mining but without the wall sockets to participate.
Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Today we are joined by Adam Back, cryptographer and CEO of Blockstream. Well known for its sidechain software Liquid, among other projects, Blockstream is actually a large private Bitcoin miner. In today’s show, we go through Blockstream mining with Back, including its profile as a miner (energy, locations, fleet). Then we dive into the BMN2, a new financial instrument to help people mine Bitcoin without ever touching a Bitcoin miner! Note, this podcast is for educational purposes only and is not financial advice.
